Align Figure groups together

MatthewLove

I'm trying to organise my layout into various groups based on their function.

I can align the instances in each group but can't align different groups together, is this possible using the align tool?

Seeing as each group has a bBox property, I assume it can be done.

    There's no support for figGroups in schematic, as far as I know. How are you creating them? If I create a fig group in the schematic using SKILL, it's displayed with a box around it, and isn't selectable - so it's not surprising the align functionality doesn't work with it...

    Maybe I'm missing something?

    Now, having figGroup support in VSE seems a reasonable idea, but it probably needs some work to make everything hang together - you might want to contact customer support to request this be supported.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
