Aligning Components to Guide Lines

The Layout Editor has both vertical and horizontal snap-to guide lines. Components snap to the line when you move or resize them to within nine pixels of the line.

Guide lines are useful when you want to establish a reference for component alignment at an arbitrary location in the Layout Editor.

Creating Guide Lines

To create a guide line, click on the top or left ruler and drag the line into the layout area.
