bgeal Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 It would be helpful if, when moving objects on a page, the distance to the neighbouring object was shown. For example if there was a table below another table and you moved the bottom table upwards, the vertical distance between the tables was shown as you moved it. This would make aligning objects where the same gap is required between them easier and save having to use the coordinates in the transform box.

Staff MEB Posted November 19, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 19, 2018 Hi bgeal, Go to menu View ▸ Snapping Manager... and tick Snap to gaps and sizes (you can also enable other similar options there). Additionally you can measure distances between objects pressing and holding CTRL (or ⌘ (cmd) if you are using a Mac) with an object selected and moving the cursor over other objects on the page.

bgeal Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 That’s great - thanks! Very impressed with the app so far having used InDesign CS6 extensively. I’m not prepared to use the Adobe subscription model and have been gradually migrating to other products (including Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer) so I’ll be buying Publisher when it’s released.
