CJSpud Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 In the image below you will see that, even though all my margins are exactly the same, the actual margin on top is smaller than the margin on the bottom. Is this a bug in X9? I want my text to be perfectly centered in the margins box so that when I have arrow lines pointing to objects, the line centers perfectly on the text. As it is now, it is aligning center with the box which is not centered on the text. I did a quick search and couldn't find where this has been reported. Maybe I missed a thread discussing this. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Yes I have always found that to be quite annoying but have not taken the time to file a report. Just makes it that much more difficult to make your work look professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 That appears to be a problem specific to the Chief Blueprint Font. Nice catch. Please report it to tech support. Strangely enough, that same Chief Blueprint font acts just fine in X8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thanks for your responses. You are right Michael, it did work just fine in X8. I didn't look at any other font styles as I really seem to like Chief Blueprint. I will send that in when I get a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a side note, but you can fix the problem by adjusting your bottom margin to be zero or even a negative number. The required setting will depend on the height of your Rich Text. Give or take, the formula seems to be: (-(Text Height / 2)) + desired margin ...so, for 24" tall text with a 1" margin you want a bottom margin of -11" and for 2" tall text with a 1" margin you would want a bottom margin of 0".
