Not only nodes you can also make curves by adjusting node handle like this. You can edit any node of this path with the help of this Edit Node tool for having a different transformations in the shape of this letter E and it will give this letter a creative look such as I want to stretch this node in the outer direction of this path so I will select this node and drag it in outer direction with the help of Node tool. So I will take the Nodes tool.Īnd once you select this letter E with the Node tool by clicking on it you can see there is a number of nodes on the path of this letter. So it is clear that this letter E is now a path and you can edit it with the Edit nodes tool. Both look the same.Īnd if you Text tool again and try to edit it as a text for replacing it with other text or for changing its style or font type then you can see it is not editable, in fact, the text tool cursor blinks on a new place for typing other text.

Because once you convert it into a path then it will not editable as text after that, it means you cannot change font type, font style, also typed letter or text, and other properties related to the text. I will type Letter E which I will convert into the path.īefore converting it into a path we should keep in mind that what we will do after converting it and according to that choose your desired font type from the Font type panel of the text tool.
