Ornamental Line (Example)
These are stars following the shape of a ‘smooth line‘. It is sufficient
to create the line and just one star. The rest is done automatically.
Creating Ornamental Lines (Example)
The following instructions are based on the example in Fig. 29-2.
1. Create a ‘smooth line’ (see page 7-7) and a star (see page 7-10).
2. First activate (see page 8-1) the path to be used as baseline for the
ornaments, i.e. the ‘smooth line’ in our example.
3. Now additionally activate the ornament itself, i.e. the star. It is important
to activate the paths in this order and not vice versa!
4. Double-click one of the active paths or select PATHS | TRANSFORM.
The TRANSFORMATIONS toolbar appears (see page 19-1).
5. Click on the button.
6. Hold SHIFT and the mouse button pressed down and move the cursor
vertically across the layout. The star is duplicated and the duplicates
run along the smooth line.
Upward movements increase the number of stars, downward movements
reduce it. You can also enter the distance between the stars
directly on the keyboard (see page 29-7).
7. You can click the button to set the ornaments below the baseline.
Using this button you can toggle between ‘above/below the line’ or –
with closed paths such as circles – between ‘inside/outside the path’.
