Despite all the comfort that StudioLine provides for manual positioning, there are situations where manual positioning can become too time-consuming. A good example is a gallery of thumbnail images. It could take considerable effort to line up all thumbnail images perfectly. Worse, any future additions or subtractions would quickly negate all the prior work.
Any objects dropped into a container object can automatically be arranged in rows. The user can choose the horizontal and vertical grid, as well as the alignment of objects.
To move or resize a container drag the container box or its handles.
To change the container settings, click the right mouse button over an empty area inside the container. This will open the Container Context Menu.
To start a new row of items at the current object, click the right mouse button on the object and choose Line Break from the Object Context menu.
Often, you design a headline to be centered at a certain distance over the container, or buttons aligned below its bottom. By anchoring these objects to the container, they will maintain their relative positions, even if the container is moved or its dimensions change.
Select an object.
Choose Position Anchor from the Edit menu.
