5.1.9 Component Editing
Position Operation
Position Operation Type
Some functions, as Alignment or Pack use a reference. Here you define what kind of reference
you use which can be the place in the area (Normal), a component or a point.
For example when you use the "Align Left" function to align several components to the left, the
left will depend on the reference.
o Normal
In Normal mode, the reference is the place in the graphic editor.
If you select several components, and use the "Align Left" function, then the reference will
be the left side of the component at the left of the area. All the selected components will be
aligned to this reference.
