PlanetPress Design snaps one object/group to another by positioning the two snapping points one on top of the other
You can also set a horizontal and/or vertical offset for a snapping point. You can do this to control the spacing
between the two objects/groups. In the following example, the white circle marks a snapping point on the
horizontal rectangle. That point snaps to a snapping point set on the upper-right corner of the vertical
rectangle.
A. No offset B. Vertical offset C. Horizontal offset D. Vertical and horizontal offset
Understanding Snapping Points
To snap two objects/groups together, consider the following five key points.
1. Objects/groups that can snap together
Only objects/groups that exist on the same page and at the same level in the Structure area hierarchy
can snap together.
2. Number of objects/groups that can snap to another object/group
An object/group can snap to at most one of the objects/groups that appear above it and at the same
level in the Structure area hierarchy. Any number of objects/groups can snap to the same object/group,
provided that object/group appears above the objects/groups and at the same level in the Structure
area hierarchy.
3. Snapping point properties of each object/group
Every object/group has two snapping point properties, each defining a distinct snapping point for the
object/group. One is the snapping point PlanetPress Design uses when it snaps the object/group to an
object/group that appears above it in the Structure area hierarchy. The other is the snapping point
PlanetPress Design uses when it snaps objects/groups that appear below an object/group in the
Structure area hierarchy to that object/group. The two snapping points may or may not use the same
snapping point site. An object/group can have none, one, or both of it snapping point properties set. By
default, an object/group has no snapping points set.
