PiMa Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Hi, I'm trying to align (with respect to another object) and to distribute text frames. It seems like Affinity Designer is only taking the actual frame into account when performing the task, and not the text itself. See the example attached : if the frame is bigger than the text it contains, the result of horizontal and vertical centering with respect to the grey box is not exactly what I would expect. In Inkscape, alignment and distribution happen on the text itself, irrespective of the size of the frame. It wouldn't be a problem if only I knew how to make the frame fit its content exactly. So my question is : how does one align and distribute several text frames by taking their actual content into account ?
Ray S. Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 Hello PiMa, welcome to the forums. If you double-click on the middle dot of the textbox on the right side the textbox will be shortend to the content. Aquivalent behave the middle dot on the lower side af the textbox. Maybe this help.
