Shapes are cool, till you ruin one of their angles. 😩
auxi is here to fix that! 🦸♂️
• Select the anchor shape first, the shape that has the right angle, then all the other ones that should follow it, then hit A + A to Adjust Angles.
• You can use the Smart Bar to find it as well.
⤷ You don’t have to spend long hours fixing each angle anymore! Now you can easily adjust shapes' angles.

Usually, processes are on one axis and equally distant, nearly making Alignments and Distributions the most used features when tidying a process.
So we thought, nothing would be better than combining both features into one!
• Use the Smart Bar to run the Align Top Then Distribute Horizontally command.
• The anchor shape concept applies here. Select the shape you want the rest to follow first. ⚓️

After finalizing your process, you might want to decrease or increase the horizontal spacing between your items.
We got you! 😌
• Select all your columns then choose the Increase Horizontal Spacing feature to part your items apart.
• Or, select all your columns then choose the Decrease Horizontal Spacing feature to get them closer.
• You can also press H+ on the keyboard to Increase the spacing, or H- to Decrease it.
⤷ This will save you so much time in changing the spaces between your items.
