Aligning Components in the Layout Editor

You can select and drag any component or group of components that has the same parent within the layout area. In addition, the Layout Editor provides a number of features that facilitate more precise alignment of objects with respect to one another:

• Alignment Tool -- align and distribute groups of components.
• Grid and Rulers -- align components on a grid with optional snap to grid.
• Guide Lines -- vertical and horizontal snap-to guides at arbitrary locations.
• Bring to Front, Send to Back, Bring Forward, Send Backward -- control the front to back arrangement of components.
