Create alphabet using Vector tube script

[Bitte]

I try to create alphabet using Vector tube script and a rope PSP tube. The alpha is downloaded from net.

 

The script is in Restricted. I create alpha as vector. Tried Object > convert to path  too.

 

Nothing happens.

 

I have run the script before using different custom shapes with no problem.

 

Any idea what the problem can be ?

 

I read your tut here:

When you try to convert to path, are you doing it on the Text object or the Vector?

You mention an alpha: is it a vector alphabet or a font?

Could you post a screenshot of the Layers palette with all the layers "open" (click on any little triangle on the left of any layer)?

I could not convert at all

I  dont know the different. What do you mean ?

 

Could you post a screenshot of the Layers palette with all the layers “open” (click on any little triangle on the left of any layer)? - when i do as in my image below i can convert to path and use the vector tube script.

 

Below is my new screenshot that works.

It might either already be a path.

A font will allow you to write what you want and change the shape of the letters. Common fonts are Arial, or Comic Sans. It lets you change the size, the color and a variety of other settings. An Alpha is a set of letters already drawn that are typically in PNG format, that you will copy and paste to write your text. They are like the freebies given with the monthly themed blog posts.

It didn't seem to get attached.

Thank you.

 

Try again to upload the image.

So you have a vector object (the letter A).  Now, activating the Pen tool, if you right-click on the edge of the letter on the canvas (not the layers), you are not getting this option?

Yes with the Pen Tool i get Convert to path. I didn- t think of doing it that way. I only tried with object Z convert to path.
