Is there a way to have dimension text that is set to be a knock-out, to be in the vertical middle of the KO? As I show below, this is a KO set to x of 1.0 and y of 0.8. I would like for the text to move up slightly to the vertical middle of the KO box. It would allow the KO y setting to be smaller but would provide for some knockout space completely surrounding the text. I didn't see a setting with Dimensions where the text can be vertically positioned in the KO but maybe one does exist.

Yes, thanks, that seems to work. Did some testing with TTF and non-TTF fonts and all TTF's ended up in the center of the KO box. The non-TTF fonts all dropped to the bottom of the KO, leaving no knocked out area beneath the dimension number and a bunch of blank space above the number.

This is true for sure.
