So you know that really handy Distribute Objects Vertically/Horizontally? Is is possible to use that with the script editor?

Unfortunately it isn't. You would need to write text alignment logic into your script.

It's possible to adjust tab alignment with the SetTabAlign method.

I've never tried this myself so I don't know if it would work, but I've always thought a good way to position objects to a number of different preset positions would be to record keyframes in an animation controller that isn't on the scene director. Then in the script you could just position the animation controller to a specific keyframe and all the objects should move to the recorded positions. So if you had a fullscreen and wanted to sometimes have 3 lines or text and sometimes 4 or 5 etc, you could pre-record all the positions of the various combinations as keyframes and recall them through the script.

I'm trying to make a user friendly sports standings full screen that doesn't have too many text fields to select from so it is easy for our sports anchors to do themselves. I ended up going with the SetTabAlign/position method where you type the team name tab over and put your stats with a tab in between each. I made it auto size and position depending on the number of lines and tabs used. This worked great in Designer and the Sequencer, but when I tried using it through the Xpressions plug in on ENPS it automatically takes out the tabs that I entered into the text field. Anyone come across this before?
