eh1 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I just updated to 1.8.3 for MacOS. The 'align to last selected' option appears to be gone. If I go to the Alignment tool, I cannot change the drop down menu that usually allows you to select 'align to first', 'align to last', 'align to selection bounds' etc. Instead it is fixed to 'selection bounds' and cannot be changed. Is there a new way to change this setting that I haven't found yet? Was this feature removed? This is absolutely critical for making scientific figures: I need to be able to align legends etc to graph axes and tick marks without changing the position of the tick mark or axis itself. Thanks!

G13RL Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 It now only works with the first three buttons. EDIT: Maybe I shouldn't have answered here, I'm on Windows, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on Windows, too, but from forum discussions it works the same way on Mac. One must now (since 1.8 or 1.8.2, depending on OS, I think) choose a horizontal or vertical alignment option before the alignment bounds can be specified. That is an intentional change in behavior.

eh1 Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Yes, this works - I missed it, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshiromoto Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I've been having problems with this too. From what I understand, I have to select the Align Horizontally/Vertically button first, then decide Align to First Selected, etc. I take it from @walt.farrell that this was intentional? Is there any way at least to change the default for Align to? I'm used to aligning to First Selected... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G13RL Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Once "First Selected" has been selected and validated, AD will keep this option until you change it, even for future documents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
