Why text boundaries matter

Text boxes that are wider than their actual content cause misalignment in the generated app. Rocket uses the text boundary to determine positioning, so excess width shifts elements out of place.

Best practice: use auto-width

Always wrap your Text element with its boundary using auto-width in Figma. This prevents alignment and positioning errors during import.

Aligning text with other objects

When a text element sits next to another element (for example, an image), the text must be centered with it. If the text boundary extends beyond the actual text content, it will appear misaligned in the generated design.
