I have a design where I am adding text on top of butterflies. I have been using this technique to create a custom text box shape. Although given the complex shaping of the butterflies this is taking some time and as they are all different shapes I cannot simply duplicate the text boxes.
My question is: Is there a way to use the underlying Smart Object as a sort of "cookie cutter" to intersect the over laying path and create the shape in one "or two" clicks?

Ok, so I figured this one out myself. Here is the solution.
Ctrl (Cmd) + Click the "Smart Object Thumbnail" in the Layers tab.
This will give you a "Marching Ants" selection of the Object
Next click the "New Work Path" button from the "Paths" panel.
>>
Now you can simply use the "Text" tool to create a Text Box
The text box will be in the same shape as the "Work Path" (Smart Object)
