Auto-Sizing for Text Frames based on Text Content
-
I have a feature request to improve the Text Frame workflow.
Currently, our standard Text Tools already handle horizontal auto-expansion naturally as we type. However, I would love to see this "Auto-Sizing" (Auto-Fit) capability extended to Text Frames as well, allowing the frame boundaries to expand or shrink dynamically based on the text volume:
Auto-Grow Vertically: The frame height expands downward as more lines are added. Auto-Grow Horizontally: The frame width expands to the right to fit the text, just like the standard Text Tool does, but while maintaining the properties of a Text Frame (such as text wrapping, padding, and column settings).Since I am a designer and not a programmer, I don’t know how the layout engine will calculate these frame boundary changes, but it would be incredibly powerful for creating dynamic labels, badges, and flexible template layouts.
Could this be considered for the features backlog alongside the other layout markers?
Best regards,
