      I see that VectorStyler adopted Adobe Illustrator’s text behaviour whereby when you change text alignment e.g. Align Left to Align Centre, the text shifts and does not maintain x coordinate. One is then forced to realign the text’s position which basically defeats the essence of efficiency. I believe this shift in position only makes a whole lot of sense if it takes place in a Text Frame (which has a restrictive enclosure) as opposed to Shape/Point Text.

      This is in direct contrast in how other applications handle text alignment. Check out CorelDRAW and Affinity for inspiration.

        @William-Kansepa said in A better way of aligning Shape/Point Text:

        e.g. Align Left to Align Centre, the text shifts and does not maintain x coordinate.

        The problem is that in VS (as in AI) the text is aligned relative to a text position. This is not possible to change for now, but I will try to find a way to automatically "move" the text when alignment is changed (in some cases).
