  • 1.  Word Wrap kills the bounding box width scaled as a driver

    Posted 09-29-2018 00:08
    So, In the setup I was posting about yesterday, i have a banner who's width is controlled by the length of the text. One pf the elements is a 2-line, which needs a word wrap, but turning on the word wrap renders the logic adjusting the X-Scale of the banner inoperable.

    Is there a work around, or will I have to tell the operator to just do a manual carriage return?

    Keep word wrap disable on your text ( myText )
    Use a hidden copy of your text object (myTextCopy ) : this one will have word warp enable
    in Visual Logic link myTextCopy.Text block to myText.Text block

    operator will feed myTextCopy data without the need to use manual carriage return.

    When I went home last Friday, I had a similar thought... thanks again, man.

    Thanks for this tip

    I had exactly the same problem,
    and I was getting frustrated, that the wordwrap was changing the boundingbox size, so there was no way to find the actual size of the texts boundingbox

    But the forum solved my problem :)
