Isolating a Group or Object to Work with Text on a 3D Path

When working with text on a 3D path, text can be difficult to read depending on its
orientation and distance from the camera. To edit the text, you can snap the text object
to its original face-forward orientation using the Isolate button in the Layers list (or
Timeline) or the Isolate command in the Object menu.

Note: The Isolate command is only available for selected objects.
