Adding constraints to Assets?

[TheBestJeremy]

I'm trying to add a constraint to an object (or group) that keeps it a certain distance from the left side of the artboard. However, when I add it as an Asset and drag it back out, the constraints are gone and set back to default. I'd like to create something similar to what looks like happens in your tutorial video starting at 0:15 but it's not working for me.

Hi TheBestJeremy 

When adding an asset to your document, if you want to retain the constraints previously applied you need to hold CMD/Ctrl (for Mac/Win respectively) whilst dragging the asset from the panel. I hope this helps!

I did not know this, thanks.

I tried this and it's not working. And I'm unsure about when to hold command (I'm on mac). Do I click and THEN hold CMD? Or to I hold CMD and THEN click? Either way, when I create an asset with non-default constraints, then drag it back out on the artboard, the default constraints appear again NOT the ones I created.

Scratch that, I realized that I need to hold CMD down when I drag it out of the Assets. Works now!! Thank you
