Please form an evenly spaced single line…
One thing that has always frustrated me when designing a product on Zazzle has been the inability to place text and images precisely and accurately. For example, when adding two or more text objects, I usually want them to line up with each other. Until now, that was a manual trial and error process that usually ended up with a comment like, “Close enough!”
Well, we can now say goodbye to the eye strain, goodbye to slightly irregular designs, and goodbye to micro-mouse attempts at non-attainable perfection. Introducing the align dialog!
Now, when you have multiple items selected in the design tool, you can bring up this dialog from the Edit menu and select what type of alignment you need! YAY! It is finally possible to accurately line up all your text or images!
How cool is that? What? You want more? Wow, you guys are picky. Fine. Hmmm, let’s see. What else do we have in our little bag of tricks?
How about Vertical & Horizontal Spacing!
What is that, you ask? Well, in very simple terms, it’s an algorithmic construct designed to eschew random or unequal voids in the midst of visually rendered binary objects. (duh!)
Ok, maybe it’s easier to show you an example:

THANK YOU! I just ran into this frustration when creating a profile card… “close enough” was not exactly what I said at the end of it, but the sentiment was similar
