Overview
What is Stay Put?
When Tasmanian-based software developer Adam Eijdenberg wrote a simple and effective plug-in to solve Adobe Illustrator's inability to align objects without moving other objects already correctly positioned, he soon discovered that there are plenty of other people irritated by the same problem.
In depth
A closer look at Stay Put
The glitch arises when an object needs to be horizontally or vertically aligned with another object already in the right place. Illustrator uses the centres of both objects to make the alignment - but infuriatingly, both move, leaving you no option but to re-position by eye.
Stay Put is a plug-in that enables Illustrator users to select a 'target' object or objects that will 'stay put' when another object is moved. A range of alignment command options are available, allowing an object to be lined-up with a nominated edge or with the horizontal or vertical centre of the target.
