  Edge Alignment

  • Any object with flat edge (s) can be used for edge alignment. Rectangles are especially well suited for this since they have four flat edges to align.

• Any shaped items can be organized using center alignment. Simple shapes work best because it is easier to judge their centers so the alignment is easier to notice.
