- [Instructor] We can also attach type…to a path in Illustrator, and in the file…that I'm using here, I've got this small device…which I'm going to attach this small line of text to.…Just going to hold down Command and Spacebar here to zoom in…to make it easier for you to see.…Let's move across like so.…Hopefully that's contrasting enough against the artboard…for you to be able to see that clearly,…and I'm going to just select all of that text and copy it.…
Not too worried about the typeface this is using…at the moment, and I'll hit the Escape key…to come out of that text.…So, I've drawn a path already…which will hold the baseline of that text,…so basically, it will be drawn with the bottom parts…of the text along this line.…So I'm just going to select that path…so you can see it there, and in fact,…I'll change the color of the stroke here, just for a moment,…just to make it slightly easier to see.…It'll disappear in a moment,…but I'll make it red there, or maybe bright magenta,…just for the minute, so here you are.…
