Text Frame: Scale with object


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish, @clamnuts, but have you considered using the scaling handle when you change the size of the Text Frame? If you look at a Text Frame, that's the handle on the lower right, detached from the frame itself. (It usually just seems to cause problems, so I can't recommend it without knowing for sure what you're trying to do. But it will scale the text with its frame. I certainly would not use it if you plan to link that text frame to another one.)

Alternatively, perhaps you should use Artistic Text, instead of Frame Text?

I need this too!

It sucks to do a logo that you plan to duplicate and modify the text of and then scale the size of for applications and have the text not scale with the object the way you can make happen with the stroke " scale with object" box.

I don't want to convert the text to curves, I want it to scale with the object and still be able to be modified.

What if you group the text and the object and scale them together?

I know this is a very delayed reply but I believe what Clamnuts was saying was that they wish the Scale with Object checkbox in the Stroke popup was just in Text Frame > General so they didn't have to click Stroke to access it.

You can do this. As Komatös pointed out, just group them and scale them together. Just ensure you use the extra handle at the bottom right to scale the text as you scale the group.

Of course, if you're making a logo you should just use artistic text instead of a text frame, it's the perfect use case for artistic text.
