Symmetrical magnetism

[Corsicaman]

I noticed a feature was lacking (or maybe I didn't find out to enable it?).

 

I don't know what the exact term is, but that's what I'm talking about:

 

 

From what I understood, the current magnetism system only takes into account the position of the object you're moving, and all the other objects separately. It doesn't include relations between your object, and several other objects together (here I move square #3 on pixelmator but it takes into account the distance between the 2 other squares).

 

Pixelmator has it but not Affinity? Did I do something wrong or is it something already/to-add on the roadmap?

Can't see your example image/video.

I think what he means is something like

You´v got 3 shapes 1,2,3 in line

distance 1 - 2 is x

when 3 is x away from 2 it should snap because of equal distances, Pages and Keynote has this as well

This is already being worked and should be available in a future update along with more snapping improvements.

MBd got it, here is there image's link again: http://s17.postimg.org/kyfzpgpzx/Capture_d_cran_2016_04_01_09_23_55.png

 

That's great MEB, any ETA? 1.5 update?

It will be in 1.5, and 1.5 will be coming some time soon.  About as accurate as I'm going to be for now, but the feature is almost complete and ready to go into the next big Beta.

 

And, since we like to do things slightly better, Gaps and Spans will snap with arbitrary axis (so will work with isometric, etc).
