Grid and align question

[Ad Mulders]

I can't find a real grid or an align function.
In "View" you can turn on grid but i don't see a grid and nothing locks on it.
What am i doing wrong?

Dag Ad,

you are doing nothing wrong!

There is a "DataGrid" object in Livecode that you can use, check this:

Beware, "DataGrids" are complex beasts and demand a little experience in Livecode.

Maybe you want to check these great learning resources first to get the basics of Livecode:

If you select multiple object, the property inspector changes, and you can select align or distribute.

Oopsie, THAT sort of grid

As Max said!

And go to Livecode "Preferences" -> "Appearance".
There you can set a "grid spacing", so objects really
SNAP to that when dragging them across the card.
