I am creating a mobile game that uses UI elements…well basically just the UI, I struggle with using the anchors correctly. I understand how to use them, they are just missing one more preset, which is Current Rect Transform.
Ill explain; I am developing for iPhone for now, but would like to do iPad as well. Using the Anchors to keep the positioning and aspect of the elements has been nice, however in order to do that I have had to place the Anchors around the Rect for the UI element. So the top left corner of … lets say a button has the top left anchor at it. The bottom right corner of the button has the bottom right corner of the anchor. This (when applied to all UI elements) provides the perfect anchor point for using iPad to iPhone or iPhone to iPad screen sizes.
If this got applied as a checkbox to the anchor system, it would make the process much easier. Its not a large request, probably not even something that people would really need that much, but it might make things a little more clear when they are messing around with what the anchors are for. Basically you want to move the anchors to the points that make the Rect Transform become (0, 0, 0, 0), without changing the position or size of the Rect Transform Object and just moving the anchor points to there.
I don’t know how hard that would be to do but hopefully it isn’t too difficult.
Thanks,
