Step 3: Now keeping the original text object and the contour object in their place, duplicate ( Ctrl+D), and horizontally shift the original text object. (The color of the contour shape has been changed here from white to blue for better visibility). The text object and the contour will be separated. Step 2: Break the contour apart by pressing Ctrl + K. Step 1: Artistic Text object with Contour applied (Contour Type: Inside, Contour Steps: 1 Step, Contour Offset: 1mm, Contour Corner: Mitered contour, Contour Fill: White fill, Outline: No outline). Using contour object to get some amazing results The contour objects will be grouped together on breaking apart. The object will be separated from the contour shapes that were created equal to the number of steps defined. Contour Type: Inside Contour, Contour Steps: 2 Steps, Contour Offset: 1 mm, Contour Corner: Mitered contour, Contour Fill: Red, Outline: Red outlineĬontours can be separated by the Break Apart ( Ctrl + K) command.Contour Type: To Center, Contour Steps: NA, Contour Offset: 0.5mm, Contour Corner: Mitered contour, Contour Fill: Red, Outline: Red outline.Contour Type: Outside Contour, Contour Steps: 9 Steps, Contour Offset: 0.5mm, Corner: Mitered contour, Contour Fill: Red, Outline: Red.Examples of Simple ContoursĬontour applied (Contour Type: Inside Contour, Contour Steps: 9 Steps, Contour Offset: 0.5mm, Corner: Mitered contour, Contour Fill: Red fill, Outline: No outline).Īdding a contour to a vector object (see images below) Once the contour has been added to an object, you can change the settings on the Property bar to get the desired results. Pick the object and click on any of the Contour Type buttons on the Property bar.Click on the selected object and drag outside or inside of the object with the Contour tool.Outside Contour: Offset distance and number of contour steps can be set by the user to get contours to outside of the object.Ĭontours can be applied to a vector or an Artistic Text object, and can be added in two ways.(Users may get an error “Offset too large” in case the offset distance set, is larger than the space available to create a contour in above types of contour).

The Contour command adds a parallel bounding shape, or shapes, to a selected vector or text object.
