Is there a way to place an Icon on your tool bar for left, right and center justifacation? Instead of going into the format text menu and selecting it?
Thanks
 
Yes customise your workspace.
Right click menu bar-customise-menu bar-properties-customization-commands choose text from drop down (shows file by default)then drag icons to where you want them. It is good practice to save your workspace as if Draw starts 'playing up' resetting to the factory default workspace ie F8 on launching Draw often cures the problem.

Thanks Brushman!
You have just made my life easier!
I tried changing my text to Inches, instead of points like you explained in an earlier post, and Draw allowed me to do this, but as soon as I clicked on the Text Icon, it goes back to point sizes - I'm guessing that version 11 may handle this differently. I'm used to working in Flexi-sign Pro, so I'm going through a learning curve, but with your help along with the others that are great at responding to my post, I'm sure I will over come these hurdles!
 
When you make your changes go to tools-options-document and click on save options as default for new documents, changes should then stick. I'm a Signlab man and Draw and Signlab make a very potent package, infact Draw seems to fill in the bits that alot of sign packages lack and vice versa. FYI if you export as AI from Draw click OFF simulate complex curves and ON text to curves and this will avoid construction lines in your letter shapes.

Thanks Brushman - It is nice to talk with someone that is using Draw in the same way that I'm attempting to use it - I'm sure there will be more questions to follow! :)
