Staff MEB Posted April 18, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hi eduonline, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Currently you can't align a group of objects using one as a reference. You can only align them in relation to the Selection Bounds, the Spread or the Margins. This has been requested quite a few times and may be considered for adding in a future version.

eduonline Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Thank you for your very fast response i have another question, how do you make sure 2 object have 1 border perfectly aligned? lets say 2 squares i draw parts to later cut on cnc equipment, that is why that feature is so useful to me. edd.

Staff MEB Posted April 19, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hi eduonline Make sure you have Snapping enabled (the red magnet icon on the main toolbar). Make sure that Snap to shape key points and Snap to object bounding boxes (menu View ▸ Snapping Manager...) are checked. There's also additional options there to align using midpoints as references, to guides etc. Then drag one square until it touches the other, you should see smart guides appearing (green for horizontal, red for vertical) when their edges overlap.
