Tools
1. Intelligent Menu
Intelligent Menu provide you a sort of menu around your mouse cursor. You can get Intelligent Menu by pushing “Space” key.
2. Component Aligning
You can align components by:
- Select components to align
- Click aligning button shown around bounding box
- Left / center / right button to align left / center / right
- Top button to distribute the components in equal intervals
