Phil_rose Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Hi. Are others noticing in Publisher, that the align box has options greyed out (see screenshot)? I can't make items center to one another but only to the page because I can't change that option. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks! Phil Quote I like turtles!

Old Bruce Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 This is rather back-asswards, choose the Align (entire in this case) and then you should be able to select each other or spread or page or whatever. Same with the far right Distribute button, hit it then you can choose how to make the distribution, first or last or set distance....

Phil_rose Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Thanks for that but I don't get it. I select all the items I want to align and then I hit the Center button and it puts them all in the wrong place. Am I misreading you? Oh! I have to hit Center then Selection Bounds then center again? That has to be a bug, right? Quote I like turtles!

Old Bruce Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Is the reversed Apply Cancel button and the Auto Distribute/Value box a Windows Mac thing?

Phil_rose Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Not sure what you mean but this is what the Windows dialog looks like. Quote I like turtles!

shechoselove Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I am just trying Affinity out to see if it can replace my current software. I use this feature constantly and this is the only recent thread I have found on the subject of aligning relative to other objects. I am experiencing the exact same issue; the drop down menu is greyed out and locked to whatever the software default alignment is. Has there been a solution? Thank you!

Choose your alignment, centre or left or right, now choose from the drop down menu.

Komatös Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 @shechoselove, @Phil_rose At least one object must be selected. And, if you would align more than one object in the line or in the row, you should first group these objects, Then align the group.
