Hi there,
in some videos I saw the tip to hold the alt key and double click on an object to position itself. But it seems not to work in LC 6.6.1 !?

I believe you are talking about a lesson video that uses MobGUI version 0.29 (Summer School 1), if that is the case, I think the newer version no longer supports that functionality. The example I remember seeing involved lining up buttons in the navbar across the card. You can achieve basically the same thing in the application browser:
align.PNG
Selesct all of your buttons and :

1. Make rects the same

2. Distribute across card


Is this what you're looking for?

Edit: this may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I think if you play around with the alignment options, you'll find what you need.
