Ability to Adjust Marker Buttons?

Aug 15, 2013

Howdy!

I am trying to add a marker feature in one of my projects and I am noticing there is not a way to adjust the size or direction of the marker (say for example flush it to the right, left, top or bottom). Is there a way to do this "without" having to go through the rig-a-ma-role of making a custom one with layers.

I am making a timeline with over 10 objects on it and layering would require boat loads of graphical layers to achieve the same effect.

Thanks

Hi Melissa and welcome to Heroes!

Are you looking to modify the text within the marker? It doesn't have a normal "format text box" feature - but if you look at the image included below, I can highlight the text and then the normal text editor appears. I'm then able to justify right. Let me know if you're thinking about something else.

Edit: Thanks Phil - I was playing with it and couldn't get that to move right, and now I see it was just a case of user error.

Ah, now I understand Melissa. 

Unfortunately there isn't a default way to move the accompanying box. Some of the markers (especially the arrow ones) will place the box in a different location depending on where the arrow is pointing, but that doesn't help with the example you've shown.
