therooftop Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I have just updated my affinity design and the behavior of the text bloc as changed. How can resize my text bloc without scaling its content ? I dont want to manually insert line return each time I want to change the size of the text bloc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted November 29, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hi therooftop, Welcome to Affinity Forums Are you sure you created the text object with the Frame Text Tool instead of the Artistic Text Tool? Text frames created with the Artistic Text Tool will always scale the content of the frame, while text frames created with the Frame Text Tool will reflow the text if you use the frame bounding box handles or will scale it if you use the detached handle on the bottom right of the text frame.

Yaco Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hello @MEB, along those lines, is there a way to... A) ...turn text frames from one type to the other? B) ...resize text frames numerically using the transform panel? Ex: I made a graphic before learning this. I'm scaling it. Some of the text reflows, but I'd l'd really just like the wohle thing to scale using numerical precision. ... or is the only course of action, in order to resize numerically, to paste the text into Artistic Text and reinsert it into toe design? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 26, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hi Yaco, A) No, it's not possible to turn text frames into artistic text and vice-versa B) I'm afraid this is not possible either - currently it will only affect the dimensions of the frame itself, the text will reflow. I will pass this to the dev team for consideration. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemie Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 @MEB this is really frustrating behavior. If I have a group of objects including a text frame and scale it, I'd expect the text to resize along with it. If I have already created text with the Frame Text tool, the only solution os to manually adjust each text frame, which is cumbersome and error prone.

Nope, if the group has text object in it, you have two scale nodes in the right bottom corner: inner keeps text size, outer scales text along other graphics.
