Hello,

How do you align vertically anchors of text objects? I.e. how do you make anchors of several text objects have the same X coordinate?

Did you try the Align+Distribute dialogue? Object → Align and Distribute.

Regards,

In the align and distribute panel, there's a button for that. (``align baseline anchors of text horizontally'', with the 'a' on top of the 'y')

It seems I did not ask the right question but thanks anyway. In case this is not off-topic, can I ask if it is possible to set X and Y coordinates of anchors of text objects?

Regards, Angel

I use a guide, to set text to specific x, and sometimes x,y coordinates (and sometimes on an angle).

-- Click on the ruler on the left side of the canvas, and drag out a guide. -- Position the mouse so that the guide is highlighted, and double-click. -- Fill in the x value that you want. -- Click OK.

Enable snapping Snap other points Snap text anchors Snap guides

Now you can snap the text to the guide, which is precisely the x value that you want.

Let us know how it goes.

It went really well :) For the record, snapping text anchors is not available prior to version 0.91.

Thanks for the explanation how snapping is done!
