I have two questions in regards to making decals to fit on a 24" megaphone.ġst: Is it possible to graduate an individual letter so that it enlarges from the top of the letter to the base of the letter? so that when the decal letter is applied to the length of the megaphone the letter enlarges as it follows down the graduated width of the megaphone's bell. You will see the inches along the bottom and right side as you drag to resize.ĭo you have any other questions about text in Cricut Design Space? Leave them in the comments so we can all help! The other option for resizing is to select a word and drag the bottom right arrow icon. This is also a way to resize things when you are working on a project with a specific size to keep. You can lock the two together so they keep the word in correct proportion or click the lock to unlock and manipulate the width and height separately. I change the width to the size I want (see arrow below). After welding a word click on it to select.
In order to ensure the word or name the customer picks is the correct size. I often sell vinyl words and advertise them as 6 inches wide.
Welding fonts in easy cut studio how to#
How to Size an Entire Word in Cricut Design Space For cursive fonts that you want all as one connected word you must weld! For fonts that are not cursive and fonts where letters don’t overlap this is not necessary. If you don’t weld a font it will cut each letter out individually instead of as one connected word. Once you have your font picked and the letter spacing to your liking right click on the font and then choose ‘weld’ from the drop down. Once you pick your font click on it and the text you typed will change.
If you know the name of the font start typing it in the search box. To view only the fonts you have downloaded click ‘system’ and to view only the Cricut fonts for purchase click ‘Cricut’. You have the choice to view all fonts (Cricut fonts for purchase as well as the ones downloaded onto your computer.) By default it is set to ‘all’ as you can see in green to the left of the search box. When you click on the ‘font’ to change a font choice another screen pops up. Being a former Cricut user and when I use this font in other programs it does not have such a large letter space. I’m not sure why Cricut Design Space does this. You can even use negative numbers if need be. Notice how the cursive font has large spaces between the letters? To bring the letters closer together change the letter space to a smaller number. Once you type your word out pick a font (far left arrow).
A small box will pop up (second arrow) and this is where you enter your word or phrase. To add text onto the canvas click the text icon on the left sidebar. Once you start a new project you will be taken to a gridded design space otherwise known as the Canvas. If you click the three line icon on the top left proceed by clicking ‘New Project’.
