Beginners' Questions Text to Path
  1. #1

    I need to create some curved text that is stand alone. I created a Bezier curve and did a text to path but then need to get rid of the curve. 

    Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

    The path can be assigned with no stroke and no fill, or it can be hidden using the Layers and Objects dialog. Other ways as well.

    If the goal is to use a cutter/CAD/CAM, the text can be converted to path (Path>Union is the shortcut) and then the arc can be deleted.
