angled towards the front.
30°: The letters have a beveled edge of 30°
angled towards the back.

back so the letters look as though they are
protruding towards the front at right angles.
Spikes: The letters have a beveled edge of 45°
at both ends of their third dimension (depth
dimension).
Middle spike: The letters have a beveled edge of
45° in the middle of their third dimension (depth
dimension).
• Letter shift: This is where you set the time
delay for the fade-in sequence of the individual
letters. The possible setting depends on the

to different display formats and access finished
designs.
Furthermore, the archive contains predefined
designs.

• Cancel: If you click on this button you will close
the 3D style menu without applying any of the
settings that you changed previously.

you have designed so far. If you prefer to define
a motion path yourself, select the Free motion
effect option instead (see Chapter 4.4).
After you click on Fixed motion, the following
window opens:
• IN motion: This selection button allows you to
