Pinning objects to the center


Recommended Posts

Alright so I am trying to create my resume within Affinity Designer.

There are two operations I am trying to do in the header and they are prooving to be a lot more difficult then perhaps they could be. I am wondering if I am forgetting some feature/workflow that might make this easier. Could you please look at these videos of me working with the application and see if you can think of a way that these operations could be easier?

 

Situation 1: The goal is to be able to edit the font/content/character of this text and have it automatically center.

Video of current workflow

 

Situation 2: The goal is to have the two black dots centered in the screen and surrounding the email.

Video of current workflow

 

If you can think of any features/workflows etc that would make these goals easier to obtain please do let me know.

 

Thankyou

A note on using the Glyphs Browser:

For shapes like dots & such, you can set second popup to "Geometric Shapes" (if the selected font includes them) instead of to "All" to make it easier to find suitable glyphs.

Some fonts include a lot of geometric shapes; others not many:

I really appreciate the help here yall :)

 

I like the glyph solution but what about the following situation. I have 3 text frames. The aim is to have them overall be centered and equally spaced a part. Even though I can center to the spread as soon as I start messing with horizontal distribution their center will no longer be THE center. Is there a good workflow that does this differently but allows that?
