Units, Alignment, and Position Options

You can change the units of your canvas and design, select alignment options, and enter positional values for your design when you're in Design Mode.

Units

Swap between Imperial and Metric on the fly.

Smart Alignment

Toggle on Smart Alignment to see guidelines as you move objects around your canvas. These guidelines can help you align an object to another object's edges or center.

Position

Position lets you align elements relative to your canvas grid and relative to other objects.

Show Grid

Makes the grid visible and allows you to set its increments.

Snap to Grid

Anchors your object to grid increments.

Show Position Labels

Displays the anchor of the object's position in the grid.

Add Origin Anchor

This creates a Custom Anchor at the (0,0) origin point of the grid. This point then can be registered to that point while placing on Origin. More information on Custom Anchors can be found here.

Recenter and Zoom to Selection Z

Using the button or pressing Z, you can Recenter the view to your entire design or Zoom to the current selection. If nothing is selected it will center on the entire design. This command is available in all Modes as well as ShapeShifter.
