What is Autofit
Autofit is a feature that automatically adjusts the height and width of the text so that it is contained within the designated size of the textbox. Height is maintained by the line count provided in the sample text you set. For example, if your user adds another paragraph of text into the textbox, Autofit will decrease the text size to ensure it stays within the boundaries of the textbox.
How to Use Autofit
The Autofit setting can be found within the Template Locking controls. To enable Autofit on a textbox, follow these steps:
- Open the right menu
- Select the Locking Option

Reposition and Auto Fit
Combining Reposition and Auto Fit while locking can help create some unique scenarios for your users. Below are the possible combinations their outcomes.
- Reposition locked with Auto Fit disabled - No new lines can be created and when you hit the width of the text box, Design Huddle disables any additional text input.
- Reposition locked with Auto Fit enabled - No new lines can be created when hitting the width of the text box. Design Huddle will shrink the font size automatically to fit width. If the font gets too small, Design Huddle will disable the additional input.
- Reposition unlocked with Auto Fit enabled - On a single line when typing, Design Huddle will automatically decrease the font size to keep line within the set width but user can add new lines.
