Thomas Fazanaro Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Why can't we align objects in the affinity designer by choosing a specific object as the key object? This is an essential option used daily to work with design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, Thomas. You can align to a key object in version 2 of Affinity Designer, but not in version 1.

BlueLiner Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 In AD v2, let's say you want to align one object centered horizontally to a second object, select the 1st object then while holding SHIFT down select the 2nd object, release the shift key (both should be selected) then click while holding down ALT, click on the one you want to align to and click the horizontal center align icon. You can also align two objects to a 3rd in the same way, just ALT click on the their object you want to center to.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted February 7 Staff Share Posted February 7 @Thomas Fazanaro Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums When 2.4 is released the key object is going to be used when using the space horizontal/vertical feature too. Has your question been answered or is there something that you cannot do and if so in which application and on what platform? thomaso 1 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
