Snapping Objects to Guides
You can create and display alignment guides to aid in positioning objects on a page. You can also turn on the Snap to Guides feature, which makes objects snap to alignment guides when you drag near a guideline or guidelines.
The Creator can assist you in aligning objects in the illustration with the Snap to Guides feature. When you place, resize, or move objects on the page layout area or pasteboard and when this feature is on, the system automatically snaps the boundaries of these objects to the closest guides.
