- [Instructor] Magnet lines are a convenient way
to align and move some of my collaborative actors
or in this case, some labels.
Now, a magnet line itself
is a collaborative actor,
so again I'll want to navigate to the Author tab
and over on my left-hand side
I have a magnet tool,
so I can click to start this magnet command
and just click once to define my first magnet line point
and click again wherever I'd like to define
my second magnet line point.
In this case maybe I want my magnet line
to come down vertically,
so I'll just click my second point here
and now I see my first magnet line
popping into my workspace.
I can create additional magnet lines,
as many as I'd like within the individual view
or if I'm finished with my command
again I'll just hit the escape key.
So, now I can click and drag my line.
As we can see here,
all of my collaborative actors
or in this case my labels
will automatically jump onto that line
and they'll align themselves nicely
and now I can just move all three labels
in this case together
and they're all nicely aligned and spaced out.
So, I can just click and drag
or I can go up the individual control points
of this magnet line
and I can actually click and drag to change the alignment
if I'd like or to resize.
In addition to all this,
again the magnet line is a collaborative actor,
so I have some additional properties I can change as well.
I don't use these too often except for the spacing property.
By default it's going to come in as uniform
but I can hit this dropdown
and change it from uniform to custom
and what this means now is that my individual labels
don't have to be uniformly spaced,
so I can click and drag one of these
and have them closer or further apart as needed.
Once I'm happy again with all of my properties,
maybe I'll create a new view
or jump back to my explode view,
right click and update view.
