I want to transform text into a vector object. How do I do this?
Thank you for your response. I already tried what you said and there is no ‘convert to object’ option showing on the pop up. What is wrong here?
Select the text box and right click.
If it is just a portion of the words in a text box then make your selection of the text and in the menu click Shape > Convert > To curve
If this is commenting my suggested solution:
- I didn’t write about some “convert to object” but about the choices you get offered by a submenue of the context menu of your text shape.
- See attacherd example.

In Draw any text is embedded into a graphical object (shape).
If this is a shape like a textbox or an ellipse, the text itself is treated as kind of an object (interface XSimpleText).
If you open the context menu (rightclick) for the containing shape, you get offered a submenu titled Convert. Using convert To Curve e.g. you get a Grouped object where every character is represented as a vector graphic.
