Title: Changing Size of Text Callout field
Post by: kiler40 on December 13, 2012, 07:46:11 AM
Hi Everybody,

I`m experiencing some problem with resizing a shape that have a shape data and a text callout.
IF I have a shape with a simple text inside it, when i open ShapeSheet Window I can link the Character Size with the Shape Width field (Character.Size =Width*10 pt) In this case the text will resize with the shape resize.

So my question is, Is there any way to link "Text Callout" text field to the master shape size so it resizes with it.

I hope my Question is not so messed up :)

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Yes. Sorry for that.

In the file, there are 2 shapes. First one (shape 1) is a simple group of objects, that i can change information with typing and color tools. When you resize the shape both text fields are resizing with the shape (connected with it`s width).
The second shape (shape 2) has the same outlook (except for the red dot...) but the text and colors are changing acording to a Shape Data. But if you resize it, she text is not changing it`s size.
And this is my question.
How to resize these text related to the master shape size.

Hope, now it gets more clear.

Best regards,
Andrew

your shape 2 has got ID = 9 and name "Dynamic Pos"
your text callouts have id 12 (top) and 17 (bottom). See at my animation in DrawingExplorer Window
you need open shapesheets of these shapes and change char.size
top text callout
=GUARD(10 pt*Sheet.9!Width)
bottom text callout
=GUARD(12 pt*Sheet.9!Width)
