Arranging Objects in Comic Life Software

Video Transcript

"Hey everybody! My name is Matt. I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. In some cases, you're going to have either panels or bubbles that are going to over lap. In some cases, you might want to change which one is in front of another one. What you can do is you can select a panel and come up to the arrange tab. You can either bring it forwards, backwards, or send it all the way to the front or back. I've got this one right here. I want the bottom part of it underneath this panel right here. I'm going to select it. You can always select these 2 buttons right here. I'm going to select that and click back. That's going to put it behind everything. I want the top part of it in front of the top one. I'll select the top one and send that to the back. Like I said, you can really fine tune the arrangements this way. You can also do the same thing with bubbles if you have 2 bubbles that are overlapping. I want the other one in front. I can just click front and do like so. Another thing you can do is a clipping, which if you drag a bubble outside of a panel, you're still going to be able to see that bubble in it's entirety. If you go to arrange and select clip, that's going to cut off that part of the bubble. You can only see what's inside that panel there. Another thing you can do is you can also snap to a grid. If I select snap panels to grid, you're going to be able to snap to a grid. I don't have my grid down here, so if I go to view and select show grid, I'll get a grid there. You can then snap to your grid that way. Also, another thing you can do is if you select align, you can also align, your bubbles and your panels. to different parts of your page. "
