I am not successful at finding a way to align objects over different scene / slides / layers. The best i have been able to do is copy from one slide/layer to the other align then cut and paste to the other slide /layer.
Anyways to set the top pixel of the bounding box to be for instance x:34 y:253 ?
One slide has a long timeline and to make editing simpler i wanted to extend the content on a subsequent slide but keep some object in their final place. So in this sample i would like to transition from slide 1 to slide 2 and align PICTURE 4 on slide 2 with the final position of picture 4 (basal ganglia) in slide one.
When i right click on Picture 4 in slide 1 at the end of the timeline I cannot find the final position of that object.
I like to turn on the Gridlines when I'm trying to line up objects on two separate slides, especially when a motion path is involved. Try turning on the Gridlines, and let me know if that helps!
yes :) i know but not at the end of the motion path:)
Remember I am trying to apply a motion path to an object and then for the next slide have the object exactly matching the position of the END-PATH position.
That bounding box at that end-path does not "snap" to the grid or did i miss something ?
You are correct, Philippe. The end-path position does not snap to grid. Hopefully other folks in the community can chime in and share their tips with you here!

Hi Philippe,
Have you tried using the Size and Position Window? There you can position objects to an exact pixel, like this:
I hope that helps!
Oh perfect !! I had missed that ! Thank you !!
You're welcome! Happy to help. ☺️
Still some problems..

It does but it would be easier to "snap-to-grid" so as to avoid a pixel jump from one slide to the other.
There's a Snap to Grid feature there, as well! :)

Thanks. I think this is another reason why the end-path object should be editable :)
