ceocan Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 For some UI Design I need to change the padding of the bounding box to "hugging" the text. How do I do this in Affinity Designer? It would make designing a lot easier for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Unless I’ve misunderstood your requirements, you can use Frame Text for this instead of Artistic Text. (The bounding box of Artistic Text is almost always the same size/position as the visible extents of the text – I’m sure there will be some exceptions that people will point out, but this is normally true.) Or you can put the Artistic Text layer inside a larger rectangle. For better answers it might be useful if you can give us one or more visual examples and explain why you want to do it.

thomaso Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Especially for UI design the "Constraints" feature might help to maintain padding and other dimensions. Unfortunately the Affinity UI for the Constraints Panel has no tool tip texts and may confuse, but there are a few tutorials around, for instance this quite detailed one: Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This solves my problem. Didn't think it would be this easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
