Move Text but also give starting position

JGoode — Thu, 05 Jul 2018 11:09:48 GMT

Hello,

I have some text that needs to start in the middle of a line that changes length which is of course very straight forward. However I need to be able to move the text using hotspots.

So my question is how do I start my hotspots at "line/2" but also have the ability to move it without it being locked down?

Thanks

JGoode:

Use an Add2 command for the initial position. Then before the Text2 command, add 2 movable hotspots (one for x and one for y), then a Add2 command with the movable hotspot parameters. Make the movable hotspots parameters visible in the interface so they can be reset to zero if necessary.
