Vertical Centering Tool

[Dams]

Hey,

 

Not sure if I missed it or the feature is missing but seems there is no vertical layout for Frame Text Tool.

 

Would be great to have centering options there: top, center, bottom.

It's not been done yet. I imagine Affinity Publisher will require it, and then Designer will probably get it too.

Justify on top, center, bottom.

Hello khemsmtl,

Welcome to Affinity Forums.

Justify top, center, bottom options are not implemented in the application. 

@Raskolnikov was just reinforcing/completing Dams's request.

As Dave Harris said in the second post, it will be probably integrated in Affinity Publisher and only then pushed to Affinity Designer.

In terms of aligning textblocks when designing labels (which is my use for AffDes), being able to align the text to the bottom or center of the Text Frame instead of the only the top is critical. Now I have to do it visually ... sorry, that is 20th Century! I'm happy to hear it will come with AP, but would love to have it pushed out earlier if possible (tomorrow would not be too soon :-).

+1 on that one .. looking for it myself :) Good luck !!

I'd like to ask for such a feature too, although it's understandable that it's not implemented. I use the text area tool like a <p> or <span> element where I can set a line height to center the text vertically. Right now I'm doing this by chaning the baseline.

Hi MEB. I'm looking forward to the possibility of vertically aligning text in a frame. In fact, I miss this feature quite a bit. As for your answer above: I haven't found any mention or roadmap for Affinity Publisher in the news section of the forum. Is a Publisher app from Affinity still planned? If yes, when? Anyway, I hope that a vertical text alignment feature will soon make it into Affinity Designer.

(BTW Thanks for all the great improvements of version 1.5!)

Hi cosinus,

There's no roadmap available for Publisher because it wasn't released yet (it's not even available as a Public Beta).

Yes, we do intend to launch Affinity Publisher and made it available as a Public Beta before that but we are still a few months away from this. The dev team has been quite busy with Designer and Photo improvements/bug fixes.

Are there any updates yet? Is it possible to center text vertically in v1.5? 

[Dave Harris]

Sorry, there's been no change to this in 1.5.

It would be nice if it was done earlier than Affinity Publisher's release. This is a pretty basic layout feature. :)

 

Thanks.

[ronnyb]

Yes please this is basic

[dock]

Oh no, it's not coming for a while?  I just spent far too long struggling to find this feature. Wow.
There are so many complex and strange alignment options, but the only one I use every day is missing in Affinity.  

 

What do people suggest as a workaround? Is there an accurate way to position with snapping or similar?

[victrl]

Is it bulky strategic feature? No. It's basic and we need it. Every day.

[Tobias]

+1 please.

[zantafio]

still waiting for it....

[Dave Harris]

This will be in 1.6. It's included in the current beta, available elsewhere in these forums.

[zantafio]

is there an approximate release date for 1.6?

 

[TonyB]

We are hoping to release 1.6 in late September.

[R34V3r]

how does one access this magical feature in 1.6? I can't seem to find it

[R34V3r]

nvm, overlooked it
