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.

    Matthew,

    I assume in that case you are talking about quick align? That allows you to align the edge of an object within each of the two figGroups and then the whole figGroups are aligned based on that. It doesn't give you the choice of aligning the figGroup bbox itself because that's not really a physical object.

    If you use Edit->Advanced->Align, you can pick object and set the object to "group" - in which case you can then align the top/left/bottom/right of the figGroup to something else (e.g. another group).

    So in essence I think you can do what you want via one of these two means?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
