Hi,
Is there a way to bind a component with a node? I have to realign all serif components after changing width with RMX Tuner.
I could make use of userData prop of a node, but how to identify a component? Does a component instance have a unique id that I could assign to the userData prop of a node?
The only solution I can think of is to store a component index from layers.components array, but it requires rebinding after every operation like adding, removing, fixing compatibility…
A GSNode has a name attribute. You could use that to identify nodes.
Have you considered converting to corner components?
A GSNode has a name attribute.
I don’t understand how? Docs say:
Name of the master. This usually is a combination of GSFontMaster.weight and GSFontMaster.width and is a human-readable identification of each master, e.g., “Bold Condensed”.
Have you considered converting to corner components?
No. I need smart components.
You quoted the name attribute of GSMaster, under GSNode, it says:
Attaches a name to a node.
Type: unicode
Ahhh yes. Because a link is broken. When I click ‘name’ under GSNode the page scrolls to GSMaster.
However, I have no problem with identifying a node but a component. Is it possible?
I can try to add a userData to the components. But did you try corner components? They are aligned automatically.
Yes, I tried corner components, but I need smart components. I need to change serifs’ width.
Georg, userData or unique id of a component instance would do the job for me 
For now, you could misuse the .anchor property of the component.
Good idea! Thanks!
I added .userData to the components in version 1089.
Yes.
