Editing curved text

pndrev

Is there a way to edit text that has been drawn along a curved path? The numeric edit tool doesn't seem to respond to those entities, unlike normal "straight" text.

Reason is I have a map with a lot of labels that I want to offer in both German and English. I copied the German labels to a new layer, but now can't find a way to edit the majority of them.

To be able to arrange it along a curve, the text isn't a single text object, but it is a set of single-character text strings, positioned separately, and grouped together with "group". You can use Edit -> Text -> Edit text, or ungroup. This will let you edit the text, but you will need to edit each letter separately.

Alright, looks like creating new labels is less work.

One thing I've finally learned to do over the years - place all my drawing guides that I don't want in the final map but may need again later on their own Layer and hide that Layer when I'm done with them.
