Informacije

      I made this out of acrylic from my niece who will be getting her learners permit! Mostly, I wanted to learn how to make connected names for projects.

Korak1

This was pretty easy.  I am pretty new, so I was just trying to teach my self to unite the letters.  I've found it super helpful to tell ChatGPT what I want to do and upload a picture of my screen.. and tell me how to do it. 

 

Step-by-Step: Unite Letters in xTool Creative Space

1. Type your text

Click Text

Choose your font
⚠️ Tip: Script fonts work best for keyrings *only if the letters already touch or can be nudged to touch


2. Convert text to paths (THIS IS IMPORTANT)

You can’t unite live text.

Select the text

Click Convert to Path (top toolbar or right panel)

Now each letter is a shape, not editable text

👉 If you skip this step, Unite won’t work properly


3. Make the letters overlap slightly

This is the most common issue.

Select all letters

Use arrow keys to nudge them closer

Make sure each letter actually overlaps, not just touches edges

💡 Zoom in—xTool is very literal. If there’s no overlap, it won’t merge.


4. Select all letters

Click and drag a box around the word
OR

Hold Shift and click each letter

You should see all letters highlighted.


5. Click “Unite”

Look for Unite in the top toolbar (Boolean tools)

Click it

✨ Magic moment:
All letters should now become one single outline


6. Test it (don’t skip this!)

Click off the design

Click it again

If it’s one object, you’re golden.
If letters separate → undo, overlap more, and try again.
