Align tool issue

Anonymous — Fri, 20 Jan 2017 17:55:50 GMT

My favourite tool has been broken by the update, it's a small issue but before the update we could continue aligning components but now you have to accept the active alignment and then activate the tool again.

It is very time consuming and frustrating after getting used to the other way, before the update I could activate the tool, click on the first object and then on the second and they would be aligned, I could then continue to align other objects.

Thank you for the feedback. We will look into the Align behavior.

In the meantime, you may want to try using the "Repeat" command at the top of the right-click radial menu. Once you've selected your first set of objects to align, you can right-click and select "Repeat" without pressing OK in Align dialog. This will commit the alignment at hand, and move on to the next.

Nice tip Charles, I got so used to the fluidity of the old system that I did not even consider using the repeat align and to be honest I probably would not have thought about it as the box is still active, thanks.
