    Scott, did you find a way to align all objects to the left edge of a middle object without using multiple steps?

    The tool will only align the left edges of the left most object, or the right edge of the right most object, or the center, which who knows where that will be until you use it.

    You can do what I am suggesting in 2 steps now, but if the tool were set up correctly, it would be one step. That is what I mean by "almost there" with the tool refinement. As I said, I had a conversation with the programmer, and they didn't see the value, that is what is frustrating.
    Kind Regards,

    Aliign to line is pretty handy

    Some images showing the result of using the Align Tool and the Align Distribute (better for free space alignment of a group of text blocks). Yes, you can align to cabinets. It is 3 clicks instead of 2. I actually have not used this tool until today. You can bet your bottom drachma that I will be using it a lot from now on.

    chief headquarters,
    you are missing a construction consultant in your development process.

    Programers are not carpenters or builders or contractors they probably don't have any experiance
    having built houses or buildings with a hammer and nails.
