Non Desctructive

designlove

Hi. I am new to Vector Styler and so far it really is wonderful. Here is a question and I know people always say there are no dumb questions but you know? :).

So here goes. When creating let's say text then using the transform tool to create a long shadow behind the text is there a way to make it non destructive so I can change the word and it all stays as is? Thanks again for any help.

@designlove Is the shadow made using the Transform -> repeated copies trick?

There's a "Drop Shadow" option under
Menu > Effects > Image Effects > Stylize.

Another way may use a clone like i did in the video.

Here for this Image I also applied a Gaussian Blur to the clone.
The text is editable; the clone follows.

@designlove I think this is closer to what you need:

The non-destructive transform will be available in 1.3.

But you can use shape references now to create the same editable effect.
