Dynamic grid: Align and resize shapes

“

- [Narrator] You often eliminate the need to nudge shapes into position or manually resize them by using the dynamic grid. As you add new shapes or repositioning existing shapes on a page, the dashed lines of the dynamic grid inform you when the selected shape is aligned at the bottom, middle, or top of an existing shape. If the new shape is the same size as an existing shape, you'll see all three dash lines at once. As you've seen the dynamic grid works both horizontally and vertically. Dynamic grid feedback also helps you match shape sizes. When you select a shape and change either its width or its height double-headed arrows inform you when the shape you're working with matches other shapes in one or both dimensions. The dynamic grid is not on by default in all vizio templates, you can activate or deactivate it on the view tab in the visual aids group by selecting or deselecting the dynamic grid check box.
