Dynamic Text Box Alters Text

[Gazzieh]

I have a series of dynamic textboxes and have simply dumped them onto the stage as I developed the system.

However I now want to place the boxes where they should be and resize them accordingly. However, when I do resize them and run the system, the font sizes within the dynamic textboxes are all differing font sizes and appear stretched, even though the properties of each box defines the same font size. I can understand that the system stretches the content as you stretch the box by default (best fit concept) but I cannot find out where to disable this for each box.

Any ideas?

You cannot change the width or height of text boxes by setting the dimensions in the dimensions boxes... That will scale the textfield, and thus scale the font inside the textfield...

You need to create your textfield on stage at whatever initial dimensions, and then adjust it's size with the right-bottom square box sizer (black arrow), to the size you want...

After selecting the textfield on stage and than checking the Transform panel, scale should remain 100% across, which is most likely not what you now have with your present textfields.

Thanks for this; I had since worked this out but it is nice to have it confirmed; just in case I was missing something obvious.
