The Text Alignment tab allows you to define the alignment of text in the following graphic shapes: rectangles, ellipses, rounded rectangles, and polygons.
You can align free text vertically and horizontally. If the text is in a shape, it aligns with the borders of the shape. If the text is not in a shape, it aligns with text handles.
You cannot change the alignment of text associated with an object in the model.
For each graphic shape, you can define the following text alignment parameters:
