I have imported some SVGs ans saved them as a shape pack. When I pull one onto the board, it places the text underneath the image. I’d like the text to be displayed in the middle/center horizontallt/vertically as a default. I can’t even manually change the location of the text.

 

Please advise on how this might be achieved.

Hi ​@JMEY,

Thanks for reaching out! To better understand the issue, could you share a short screen recording of what happens when you add an SVG shape to the board? A video would help us see the behavior and provide more accurate guidance.

 

You can use a free tool like Loom or any screen recording software and share the link here. Looking forward to your update! 😊

That’s not possible as this is a work computer. 

To try and further explain. It appears that when you add an SVG into a custom user shape pack, the default (that cannot be changed) is for MIRO to place the text tag (banner, box, whatever you call it) centered under the SVG shape.

 

 

I want to be able to move the next to sit centered (horizontally and vertically) on the SVG. While I can justify the text left/right/middle, the toolbar you use for placing the text horizontally does not function.

 

This means MIRO must code the text area of the text to only sit underneath the SVG. Where as on a standard shape the text area is completely within the border 

 So basically the SVG text tag should operate as per the standard shape. 

 

Given that SVGs are code, some other ‘nice to have’ improvements would be:

  • changing the fill and border colors
  • having the backround transaprent (on the first screen shot you can see whit corners)

Hope this better explains the issue. thanks
