Text Position Inspector

The Text Position Inspector is used to control text positioning within shape, polygon, and text objects.



In the Text Position Inspector you can set the horizontal alignment and vertical alignment of text, the padding around text, and how shapes automatically resize to fit text.

The horizontal and vertical alignment of text can be set by selecting the appropriate alignment type button.

The padding around text can be set using Padding around Text slider. The padding can range from 0 inches to about 0.12 inches. As you move the slider it will snap to the step values marked by the ticks. When dealing with text on small shapes it is typically useful to set the padding to a small value, if not zero.

You can set how a shape resizes to fit text by selecting one of the options from the resizing pop-up menu.
