- Distribute objects
- Same width/height guide

When I turn on curved, grid, or magic alignments for text, it automatically does that to the other text I create and I cannot find a way to turn it off. Please fix that.

Someone said earlier to hold control while moving objects to disable snapping which works.

I would like to see "anchor" points or "pivot" points. For example, if i have a text that says "example" and it is lined up underneath a box/word. I want to be able to lock the left "e" that is snapped into place/lined up with the left side of said box. From there when I modify the letter spacing it would push out the spacing rightward so I don't have to re snap the lettering to the box. Or maybe I want to line up the "M" in example to be dead center on the canvas. I would "lock" the "M" and be able to adjust the letter spacing and the letters would expand and contract to the "m."

I was trying to evenly space multiple icons. The snap feature makes it simple to line them up, but it is nearly impossible to evenly space the items. I want to be able to, for example, have 5 stars evenly spaced. Lets say I add or duplicate the star to have 5. I can snap them vertically or horizontally using the Align options. There should be another option to evenly space the icons between the two furthest icons. Lets say I have text, perfectly centered that says "spark." I can "snap" one star to align with the "s" and the 5th star to align with the "k." I can hit align middle, followed by a new alignment option "evenly distribute" or "evenly space" with a secondary option that says "between ends" or "between canvas." This would allow me to distribute the stars with a few options that aren't too "heavy" for what Spark Post is trying to accomplish.

You should be able to group together a number of objects (for example, text boxes), and then distribute them vertically or horizontally.
I can do this in 2003 PowerPoint, amazed that I can't do it here.

It would be very good to be able to move layout boundaries with intelligent snapping, and exact sizing through simple numerical input. Right now sometimes it is a chore to achieve exact sizing and it sometimes remains slightly skewed which looks bad in print. Also allow to swap layout elements to other sides of the page eg. move square to other side of rectangle etc. etc.

Hi I love adobe spark but it is impossible to do certain things with the snap feature. Please allow users to disable snap. Thank you!

There's not enough fonts :( I need like 2-3 times more options, maybe have it as a plus box to expand each section so it doesn't feed overwhelming to others. The snapping into position thing is annoying often, although helpful at other times. If we had an option to turn it off I would be able to place images where I need them to be, currently it's a big pain to work around.
