Illustrator :: Aligning Text Due To Bounding Box (CS 6)
Oct 17, 2012
I am struggling to properly align text because the bounding boxes are not centered around the text. Therefore, when I try to align it with another object, it is off. I am using CS 6 and, generally, the point and type tool. it might be the type of font (that perhaps they are "bad" fonts) but it doesn't seem to matter which type of font I use. The bounding box always has extra space underneath the text, even when using a very standard font like Times New Roman.

Exactly how does one change the size of the text bounding box, without scaling the text or changing the font size?I have a method now, but it is very inconvenient. I am looking for something to improve workflow.

I would like to fit text to a bounding box's width.
So for example, if I have a bounding box with the with 10 cm, I should be able to type text in it, multiple lines, and the text should then fit itself to the width of the bounding box by going up/down in size, so the height of the text also changes accordingly.
Does it make sense?

I have a circle and a text as shown below. If i try to align the text and the cirlce, they are not aligning exactly. There is some difference in it as shown below in the first alignment. If i convert the text to outline and align, its perfect. Is there any way to align the text with circle exactly?

I'm using Illustrator CS6 with a file that someone else produced. Many of the area text bounding boxes are way bigger than they need to be. In Freehand, I used to be able to double-click on a corner of the bounding box and the box would automatically resize itself to just fit around the text (loved that feature!). Is there something similar in Illustrator? Or do I need to go through and manually resize all the bounding boxes by dragging them smaller?

I have two simple text objects (not textarea) and i'm trying to align them vertically to bottom.It aligns these text objects by bounding box, not by base line. How can i align text objects vertically by base line?

Left: 'vertical align bottomed text with the box of black stroke
Right: manually moved text with smart guide to align with its base line.(what I want to achieve)
As you can see in the left one, text has its base line under itself, and its bounding box doesn't match its base line. when I use align, it doesn't align using its base line but its bounding box.How can I make text align using their base line easily?

I have a variable number of text lines I would like to arrange along the path of half a circle. I would like the text to look like each text-string is radiating from the circle (the path I have as half a circle).
I would like to do this in adobe illustrator
I would like the text to be evenly spaced along the path dependent on how many lines of text I have.
I have seen other discussions suggesting either the blend-tool or the brush-tool. But no luck. The blend-tool would make distorted shapes in between, and would twist and distort the text. The brush tool would make each text a little bit 'cone-shaped', and I would prefer having the text without such a 'cone-shape'.
I am attaching a picture that halfway shows my intentions. In this diagram I have started rotating the first 4-5 text-lines. I have more text-strings (just above the half-circle) that I also would like to include along the path the half-circle is indicating.
The final goal is to get each of these locality-names raditing from the tips in the little red tree.
Is it possible in illustrator to align the text along a path like this? It is almost similar to the normal align objects and distribute objects.
I am working on a Mac OSX 10.5 Adobe Illustrator CS3.

I wrote a dimensionroutine and want to put the dimensiontext on a home or upper position depending the space the dimensiontext needs and is nearby the last created.
With the boundingbox of the dimensiontext I hope to calculate if the dimensiontext will fit between his two dimensionblocks

Im Trying to add text using a bounding box.
When I drag the box out to the size I want and go to type the insertion curser doesnt appear. when I type something nothing appears no matter what size or font of text I use.
I've tried making the picture bigger but it doesnt work. When I go to delete the type layer it registers that I typed something and askes ifI want to delete it but it never shows the text in the box.
Ive even onpen new windows and it does the same thing whether I use white, transparent or background layer settings.

I'm trying to create a website mockup in Photoshop. I'm trying to create a bounding box where I can place my text,. Can I do this in Photoshop elements 10 or just Photoshop cs5? If I can do it in Photoshop elements 10, what tool do I use and can i make the background transparent?

Just wanted to align some text with the canvas. Thinking I'd simply overlooked the feature, How do you align a layer to the canvas? Specifically, a text layer.
The answers I found:
Use mouse to drag layer to the center of canvas. (This does not result in the accuracy for which I was hoping, unless I do some math to determine and pinpoint the proper location and try to keep my hand steady.)
Cut, copy, paste. (This renders the text uneditable.)
There isn't an align feature?

I use the bounding box (vla-getboundingbox) to assess parameters of blocks. These blocks have text on some of the faces that extends beyond the simple dimensions of the blocks themselves. I'm wanting to have bounding box ignore the text and can't sort it out. I've tried putting the text on a separate layer and turning it off and freezing it.
I've considered looking at sub entities and filtering out the text but I don't know if there is a solution here or not.

I've been working on this project in Illustrator for a day or two now. All of a sudden, all objects, both preexisting and newly created, have a very large purple bounding box.
In order to alter the size of the object, I have to find the corner of the large bounding box. I have a feeling it may be a setting I hit as this began happening after I was fiddling around with adding more artboards.

Is there a way to align text or an object on a page? I have done this using the guides, but there has to be an easier way! I'm looking for vertical and horizontal alignment.

software like indesign and coreldraw allow you to align centres of texts and objects.
for example if i have written the word bedroom and a rectangle of 3000 by 4500 is therem, i can select the text and the rectangle. press the aign to centre button and these two things will align their centres. how can i do that in autocad?

If you can use the ALIGN command to align multiple text objects in the Y-Axis? (or X-Axis as well)
I know about changing the X value of a bunch of text objects to align them that way. I'm just wondering if the ALIGN command will allow you to do something similar?
I want to do this without lisp too. If there are other methods I'm always wanting to learn! I just had a new cad user ask me about the ALIGN command and I couldn't get it to do it.

I need to create two art boards in my design document. They are off by a pixel and won't line up like some weird snap feature is on. I've checked and turned off all snap features. Still not lining up.

I do not know if this is something weird with Creative Cloud, but I use Illustrator A LOT to do art. Recently, I noticed that if I take a complex shape with angles and curves that I make with the pen tool, and I Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+F it will, like normal, stack the items directly on top of one another, or I can edit copy, and edit paste in place/ in front, etc. So, I have two of the same shape exactly on top of one another. For my example we change the bottom shape to a different color to make it show up when we scale it, and go up and transform the bottom shape bigger, by clicking transform, scale- lets say to 110%. My problem is now the items seem to be touching and overlapping in places on the edge. They seem to no longer have the same center spot aligned with one another, and I never moved either shape. i just scaled one. I just noticed this the other day, and like I said, I make pattern art in illustrator all the time. It doesn't happen if you do this with a circle or a square or a star, just strange shapes you create with the pen tool with lots of points.

It appears that the origin of objects is the center of the bounding box of the object. Is it possible to set the origin of objects to be the top left of the bounding box? It is possible to specify coordinates for paths this way.

Any way to see a bounding box for each group? So if we were to do a select all we can see edges for every line & a bounding box around the whole selection but what would be nice is to see a different color bounding box around each group that is selected.

Using Illustrator CS6 for Windows, when I open a document and then open a second window (Window > New Window), I can show rulers (View > Rulers > Show Rulers) in one window without affecting the behavior of the other.
I can also hide edges (View > Hide Edges) in just one window, but not the other. I can even show the transparency grid (View > Show Transparency Grid) in one window, but not the other.
This is all as expected, and very useful when I keep one window on my working monitor and drag the other window to the monitor my client is watching.
The problem is this: when hide or show the bounding box (View > Hide/Show Bounding Box), it affects both windows. Furthermore, it affects all open documents--not just multiple windows belonging to one document.
This is maddening--is there some way I can restrict that change to just one window? I can't imagine why other View options are per-window, but this View option is application-wide.
TL;DR: In Illustrator CS6 for Windows, how can I hide the bounding box in one and only one document window?

I wish to align a text like this at an oval shape. The field of the text body does align at all - which I can understand. Using the grafic text, it aligns directly on/ over the outline of the oval shape. But I won't have the whole text in a round - I just want to have the paragraph's left side to be aligned/ positioned at the outer shape of the oval.

I have a tag block that calls out details. The attributes are the detail number and the page the detail is located. I was wondering if there was a way that the bounding box around it could grow or shrink depending on the width of the text.

Having trouble making a perfect alignment, 90 degrees, 180 degrees etc. When object is duplicated and rotated it appears to be out of alignment with original. Is there a finer control for snapping to grid/object without having to use increments or perhaps adjusting them?
