You can use the 'On Pre Draw' trigger of the operator to adjust the text's position for every frame, so it always appears in the same position/orientation relative to the operator's center point.

In the attached model are two examples: For operator1, the text is a subnode of the operator, for operator2 it is not. The needed code is easier for the second option, since all that is needed is to adjust the location based on a fixed offset to the operator. In the first case, the operator's rotation has to be compensated.

What exactly do you mean with "fit text tag in operator"? You can change the size of the text in its properties.

The On Pre Draw trigger in the model moves the tag to a fixed position relative to the operator before every frame is drawn, so any position change you attempt is immediately overwritten.

To adjust the location it is moved to you have to change the parameters in the setLocation command. Currently the location is determined as the center point of the operator plus a fixed offset.

(This is the code for Operator2, Operator1 is similar, but the offset is determined based on the operator's rotation)
