Binding Objects to Path

Binding Objects to Path

Binding Objects to Path

The Bind to Path command is used to bind and align vector objects to a selected path.

If you create your object before you create the path, any irregular object must first be converted to paths (Path | Convert to Paths) before choosing Effects | Bind to Path. This method applies to objects created with the Multigon, Polygon, Spiral, Concentric Circles, and Cube tools.

To Bind an Object to a Path:

  1. First create the path to which you are going to bind an object.
  2. Then create the object and then select both.
  3. Choose Effects | Bind to Path to open the Bind to Path dialog box.
    • Enter number of copies of objects.
    • Choose alignment of Top, Centers, or Bottom of path.
    • Rotate Objects to Path. When checked, the object will rotate based on the direction of the path.
  4. Click the OK button to accept.
