Two questions about text and borders

Post by bbcontracting »

Good afternoon! So far I have found my way around SCALP3 pretty easily and it's very user friendly. I do have a couple questions that if I can find answers to would make my life a lot easier and i figure this is the place to ask.

1. I use SCALP mainly for making construction signage and its usually a few rows of text with a rounded square or rectangle border. My first questions is... Can I make SCALP auto space the distance between lines of text. Example: I have a 48"x36" sign with 5 rows of text can i select all and make it auto fit to the page?

2. I have to make rounded corner square/rectangle boarders. Is there anyway to custom make a square with specific corner radius in the program? The rounded square in the stock shapes gallery does not do the job.


THanks for any help or insight.

You can customize the corner radius in SCAL 4.

Can you upgrade to SCAL4 from SCALP3 for free or is it a paid upgrade? Also how do you do it in scal4? I downloaded a demo to see if i wanted to upgrade but dont see anything about editing corners or corner radius.

When you select the rounded rectangle from the Toolbox, a Corner Radius box appears just below the Menu Bar.
