: Vertically align text within Objects in Illustrator I am using Adobe Illustrator CC (latest version) and although I have been working with Illustrator for many years, I only do small vector related
I am using Adobe Illustrator CC (latest version) and although I have been working with Illustrator for many years, I only do small vector related things in it, so by no means an expert.
I would like to align a bit of text inside a rectangle object, so I select both, then I tell it to align relative to rectangle, and press the Vertically Align Center option, but this is what I get:
As you can see, it is NOT vertically centered, what am I doing wrong?
This seems to behave this way with text only! I'm sure if I changed the text to paths and did the alignment, I'd get the result I'm after, but must I do this? Is there no easier way?
UPDATE:
Following solution provided by duplication link still doesn't work for me! Am I missing something? I applied the Effect > Path > Outline Object
Here is what I get:
Thank You.

No, there is no easier way.
you are not missing anything.. And even Adobe Illustrator is doing it's job very well.. Look at the below image
Text is shown as selected and as you can see it is perfectly aligned in the centre! The problem is all type faces have different line-heights so what Illustrator does is.. it aligns based on text's line height
Path (Outlined) as you can see after converting text to outlines it aligns visible!
Rasterized and text also carries it's line height property and takes up the space accordingly.
Hope this is what you are looking for.
