Align Subsequent Feature Control Frames

Hello Community,

Is there a way to align the lower frames to the first? Currently, they are green "snapped" to the one above so if I move them, they move as a group.

Thank you!

They seem to be centered.... check the Feature Control Frame style, and see if the text justification associated with it is set to Center.

@CGBenner The feature control frame style was centered. I created a new style from the existing and altered the text to left-justified without any change. I think it has more to do with the centered green snap. I may have to create this using a Leader Text?

I disconnected all the green snaps and eyeballed it. If I need to move it, then I have to remember to grab everything. Not perfect but it is a workaround.

@ethan_howardMMXXV I found it I think.  In the Style Manager for Feature Control... check Cell Alignment, Datum Alignment and (if you want) Leader Attachement... to control how things line up in a stacked situation.

@CGBenner close but no cigar! Leader Attachment is exactly that.

Datum alignment does this:

Thanks for trying! Appreciate it!
