Object priority when aligning

Hi all.

Is there a way to set object priority when aligning? For example if I want to align text to an image the way they behave seems completely random - sometimes the text will be the one that moves, sometimes they'll both move, sometimes the image moves.

How has this been programmed to behave and is there a way to choose which object will be the one that moves?

  • Hi, Astutis.

    Thank you for reaching out!

    Here are my observations when aligning objects:

    • Aligning the top will prioritize the object that is at the top (higher on the slide):

    • Aligning the bottom will prioritize the one lower on the slide:

    • Aligning the middle will adjust both objects, so they move to an average position:

    The behavior will depend on the type of alignment you're looking to do. If this is not your scenario or experience, can you share a screen recording of what you're seeing?
