Many thanks for the replies. I did watch a few videos, this one included and yes it is fine if you want to distribute horizontally or vertically but if you have a matrix of shapes that you want to distribute over a page it becomes a nightmare. I have adopted the ctrl J option. I will try the grids tomorrow. So once again many thanks.
Walt, with the greatest respect I believe you missed the point. If it isn't broke don't fix it. Especially is you are going to charge for the facility. What you are suggesting is that I should be grateful to be offered a discount for upgrading a piece of software purchased prior to the launch of an upgraded product. Had they kept their word and offered lifetime upgrades I might have been happier. The very definition of version two is that it is progressive. Had they, in my opinion, renamed the product then it would not be V2.
It is not a saving of 50% or 40% it is spending 50 or 60 per cent of hard earned money when you purchased a lifetime upgrade licence.
