TEXT ALIGNMENT IN A BOX USING EXPRESSIONS
I’m trying to align a Text within a shape layer using anchor points
I tried this using expressions below on the position of the textbox, but still its not aligned properly as shown in the pic above. Can some please help and point out what am i doing wrong
spacePos = thisComp.layer(“Rect”).toComp([0,0]);
spacePos+thisComp.layer(“Rect”).anchorPoint

I think this should work:
L = thisComp.layer("Rect");
L.toComp(L.anchorPoint);

Thank you Dan,
This works just fine.

I’m having a problem with another project and tried your suggestion above, it give me a huge offset or difference between the anchorpoint of the rectangle and the position of the Text. I can see the Text is attached to the anchor point of the Rectangle by moving the anchor point of the rectangle and the text moves along, but what I don’t understand is why is there a huge difference in this project an the same thing works in another project which I tested earlier. Confused.
D = thisComp.layer(“TEXT BOX”)
fullPosition = D.toComp(D.anchorPoint);
Attached is the file showing the offset between the anchorpoints of the textbox and text. Marked in red is the text anchorpoint and marked in blue is the rect anchor point

There was a parent link, I removed that now below is the result, still there is offset.

Sorry kindly please ignore this, this is fixed. I was using the wrong rectangle. Just need to understand something, why is Parent and LINK used
