Resize Text Box on Text Size Increase so It Doesn't Break the Text

miloskrsmanovicSE

Alt+Z wraps the text box around the text, but if you then increase the text size the box width stays the same, and text breaks and reflows into additional lines. This turns text size increase action into box resizing exercise, where users hunt small target area (drag handles). Can Bluebeam allow for text box width to automatically resize when increasing the text size, so that flow of text remains the same for the larger font?

Hi miloskrsmanovicSE

I agree with this suggestion. As a practitioner, I also find it inconvenient to manually resize the text box after increasing the font size. It would be helpful if the text box automatically adjusted its width when the text size changes, so the text stays in the same flow without breaking into extra lines.

A small improvement, but it could make text editing much easier.

thank you

Agree, this has come up a bunch. My thinking is instead of the box locking width and only growing height (which is what breaks the flow), give us an option to lock the height and let it expand wide when the font size goes up. That alone would fix most of the annoyance.

Even better would be if it applied some logic based on the original box proportions instead of just picking one axis, but honestly just having the height-lock option as a toggle would save a lot of hunting for those tiny drag handles.
