Don’t Want A Gap Between Items? Snap To ‘Em

This one is a lot handier than it sounds. If you’ve ever tried to line up a row of objects, the last thing you want is a little gap between some of them (I just ran across this problem when I was trying to line up a row of television monitors for a video wall I was creating). Well, you don’t have to have that gap anymore, because in CS2 you can actually have the layer you’re moving snap right to the layer you’re trying to align it to. Just go under the View menu, under Snap To, and choose Layers.
