I'm created the below document and was asked to make some changes, starting with moving a few blocks around. I created layer groups for each option (chat, email, etc.) and moved all the layers into their proper groups.
Great, I can move around the blocks, keeping their content intact!
But how do I align them once moved? For example, if I click left align or left distribute every layer group collapses into a mess.
Or is there a better way to do this? Thanks.
Before aligning, group all of the objects within each layer. That way the objects on each individual layer will be treated as a single object.
You will still be able to reposition individual objects within the group using the Group Selection tool.
As @Barbara Ash mentions - you need to group all the items.
Just because they are in a Layer doesn't mean they are grouped.
Between the Eye and the Colour in the Layers panel - click this and it should select all items on that Layer.
Then go to Object>Group (or something like that).
Now you can align that Layer that is grouped.
