Take a button for example. I understand there is a ‘scale tool’ for resizing the entire button including the text size inside. However, that usually changes button size as a whole (both height and width together). Attempting to move the button horizontally will only result in the text wrapping onto the next line instead.
Is there a way for me to resize the text when I’m only adjusting the button horizontally or vertically?
(e.g text becoming smaller when the button width is shorter)
I added a short clip to illustrate what I was describing. Hope it helps, thank you!
@Jasmint_Tan Is this what you’re trying to do? If you use the scale tool on the text node in an Auto Layout frame with fixed height, I think you can achieve your use case (at least for horizontal text; not sure if this technique would work for vertical scaling). This won’t work at the component level without detaching the instance first, but this could be a workaround technique in a pinch.
Is this solution still valid in the current version of Figma? I get the instructions but either I’m not implementing them well or it’s no longer a solution as I can’t get it to work. Anybody still on this? I’d love some more explanation. Thanks!
