The workaround is to have a lot of patience and drag the individual items manually and wait for the snap line to appear.

Selecting first, last, or anything aligns to the center of all selected features. Very frustrating.

Not being able to align to the specific element that I want the other elements aligned to makes my map layout creation infinitely more frustrating and time consuming.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 19 Oct 2020 20:38:37 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/align-text-and-graphic-elements-in-layout-to-last/idc-p/941538#M5738 Anonymous User 2020-10-19T20:38:37Z Re: Align text and graphic elements in layout to last item selected - Status changed to: In Product Plan https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/align-text-and-graphic-elements-in-layout-to-last/idc-p/1016139#M14819 Tue, 12 Jan 2021 21:17:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/align-text-and-graphic-elements-in-layout-to-last/idc-p/1016139#M14819 AubriOtis 2021-01-12T21:17:23Z Re: Align text and graphic elements in layout to last item selected - Status changed to: Implemented https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/align-text-and-graphic-elements-in-layout-to-last/idc-p/1057905#M15960 <P>Implemented in ArcGIS Pro 2.8 (in Pro elements are aligned to the <EM>first</EM> selected element to align with existing behavior such as merge shapes workflows).</P><P>See&nbsp;<LI-MESSAGE title="Ideas in ArcGIS Pro 2.8" uid="1053991" url="https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-ideas-blog/ideas-in-arcgis-pro-2-8/m-p/1053991#U1053991" discussion_style_icon_css="lia-mention-container-editor-message lia-img-icon-blog-thread lia-fa-icon lia-fa-blog lia-fa-thread lia-fa"></LI-MESSAGE>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<A href="https://youtu.be/Yeok2KffeuI?t=304" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer">(5:04)</A>&nbsp;in the video.</P> Thu, 13 May 2021 22:54:07 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/align-text-and-graphic-elements-in-layout-to-last/idc-p/1057905#M15960 KoryKramer 2021-05-13T22:54:07Z Re: Align text and graphic elements in layout to last item selected https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/align-text-and-graphic-elements-in-layout-to-last/idc-p/1143452#M18668 <P>I find much more natural to align to the last item selected, as asked here. You chose the opposite in order "to align with existing behavior such as merge shapes workflows".</P><P>Please just give us the possibility to choose in the options.</P> Sun, 13 Feb 2022 12:21:34 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/align-text-and-graphic-elements-in-layout-to-last/idc-p/1143452#M18668 GregoireS 2022-02-13T12:21:34Z
