A better way of aligning Shape/Point Text



  • I see that VectorStyler adopted Adobe Illustrator’s text behaviour whereby when you change text alignment e.g. Align Left to Align Centre, the text shifts and does not maintain x coordinate. One is then forced to realign the text’s position which basically defeats the essence of efficiency. I believe this shift in position only makes a whole lot of sense if it takes place in a Text Frame (which has a restrictive enclosure) as opposed to Shape/Point Text.

    This is in direct contrast in how other applications handle text alignment. Check out CorelDRAW and Affinity for inspiration.

    The problem is that in VS (as in AI) the text is aligned relative to a text position. This is not possible to change for now, but I will try to find a way to automatically "move" the text when alignment is changed (in some cases).
