Unlocking letters on Cricut refers to unlocking the proportions of text when resizing, allowing you to independently adjust the height and width.
Here's how to do it:
- Select the Text: First, choose the text you want to resize in your Cricut Design Space canvas.
- Locate the Lock Icon: Once the text is selected, a bounding box will appear around it. Look for the "Lock" icon in the Edit toolbar (usually located at the top of the screen). This icon sits between the width and height input fields.
- Unlock Proportions: Click on the "Lock" icon. The icon will visually change to indicate that the proportions are now unlocked.
- Adjust Independently: Now you can freely adjust the height and width of the text separately by dragging the side handles of the bounding box or by entering specific values in the width and height fields in the Edit toolbar.
By unlocking the proportions, you can stretch, compress, or otherwise distort the text to fit your design needs. Remember to click the lock icon again to relock the proportions if you want to resize the text while maintaining its original ratio.
