This tip shows you how to scale using the scaling anchor grid, the nine small squares beside the Scaling section. This will control in which direction the scaling will happen and prevent the scaled text from covering the button or element that opens the text box.

Setting up the Text Box

1. Open the skin editor and locate the text box that you want to scale in the file tree.
2. Double click the text box and open the element editor.
3. In the Scaling section, set the scaling you want in the X and Y axis, in this example I have scaled them both to 5 as shown.
4. In the Scaling Anchor Grid, right circle, click on the bottom middle squire, this means that the text will scale upwards rather than from the middle and cover the button.
