Improvement on Dynamic Data

I am writing to you regarding the dynamic data (variable text) function in the Ruby software.

We use this function very frequently for engraving lamicoid plates and padlocks. However, we encounter several difficulties when configuring the font size and width.

The current options, such as Stretch, Stretch X, Stretch Y, Fit, and Text, do not seem optimal. It is difficult to obtain a consistent and precise font size, especially when the text length varies from one field to another. This results in significant visual differences between engravings and requires numerous manual adjustments.

As a solution, it would be very useful to have an option to define a fixed grid outline for the dynamic data, functioning like an area with margins. When this framing is adjusted, the text cannot extend beyond it and will automatically adapt within this area, both in X and Y, regardless of the text's length.

In other words, the variable text will automatically adjust to the width and height of the defined framing, never exceeding its boundaries, thus ensuring a consistent presentation and significantly reducing setup time.
