Text imported from data sources behaving strangely and not allowing for resize of text frame
-
I have a bunch of data in a csv file that I would like to import and use for a canvas data grid export.
The use case here is printing a bunch of stickers with different phrases on them.I made a super simple proof of concept showing what I'm trying to achieve:
Two single lines of text, and a paragraph of text. This example is with manually entered data. I put a stroke around the text areas simply to show their bounds.
Upon adding my data source and choosing to apply the style to the objects individually, the following happens:
- It changes my font and font size
- It removes the fill on the text and instead uses the stroke style from the text area
- It moves the text areas over
- It changes the dimensions of the text area so that it will fit the imported text.
If I then change the font/font size on these newly imported text areas, they work properly with the Canvas Data Grid, with one notable exception:
If I try to resize the text area containing the long paragraph of text, it scales the text, instead of changing the boundaries of the text area as expected.
I can't seem to find any way to prevent the text frame from transforming it's content.
The options in the Appearance window show this:
Is this a bug? Am I misunderstanding how to import text for a Canvas Data Grid?
