ZPL How to center text with variable length

Rocstar picture Rocstar · May 23, 2018 · Viewed 9k times · Source

I use Zebra Designer to create my labels. But I have a problem to center my elements.

Indeed when I create a text box with Zebra Designer, it has a fixed length and when I replace the text inside (by a variable Php giving me the price for example) ==> if this text is larger than this that I have defined it does not focus.

So I would like to create a text box the width of the label and where the text would be centered inside, regardless of its length

Use the Field Block ^FB Command; Parameter D is the justification, here set to C for center
