Change text location

[Pipe Guy]

OK...I'm back with another question

With 3d6, is there a way to have text appear someplace other than justify left/right and centered?
This is what I have

But the text location of this image is what I'm looking for

How can I get the text to appear at a different location in the frame?

The only method I know is to type in a period then press enter so the text begins a new line.. and again and it will drop down further.

Make the period as small as possible.

If, when your 3D pic/anim is complete, you are able to resize the window so that the period is not visible in the window then you can export withouit the period being seen.

If you are unable to do this then the period can always be edited out in Xtreme.

Pipe Guy,

With the Cursor over the text hold down the alt key. You can now drag it anywhere in the Xara3D window

Egg, thanks for that tip! I didn't know that!

It's not exactly a tip. It's all in the manual.

Alt for full control
Alt + Ctrl for horizontal control
Alt + Shift for vertical control

And if you click Ctrl + R you get to see the frame so you can position your background images and/or pixels so that, as long as you are exporting your animation using Current window size, those elements that you want out of view are out of view. No need for trial and error.

Thanks guys :-)
I have noticed that the help files in Xara seem a bit...well actually...alot confusing. Maybe they need more specific subject titles. LOL
