QuickAlign "center" to "edge-center" deprecated in Layout 6.1.7?

dontpanic

Hello (again)! I recently switched to IC 6.1.7, and now I am unable to get the QuickAlign layout command to align the center point of an object to the "edge center" of another object (as I could easily do in IC 6.1.6). Moreover, when I press F3, the dialog I get for the QuickAlign command options looks rather different (i.e. many less options) than the one shown in the documentation. Do I need to configure/activate something somewhere else? or maybe it is broken due to an incompatibility with my design kit with this new version?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Cheers,

Jorge.

    Hi Andrew, thanks so much for your prompt reply. I in fact thought initially it was the "Snap to edges" option being enabled, but I after checking again the problem persists. What's more, I really get fewer options than what described in the documentation (I checked the guide for version 6.1.7). Here is a snapshot of what I am getting:

    As you can see, when I point to the edge center of the target object I get the yellow DOT and not the (small vertical yellow) LINE that would allow me to only align vertically both rectangles (and not to actually move the center of the origin object to the edge center point of the target object, as would happen in the example above).

    Does this look maybe like a broken setup?

    Thanks again for your help,

    Jorge.
