same here, fucking hate illustator sometimes..

I'd assume you already did this, but did you try changing it to Aline to Artboard instead of align to selection or align to key object?

There are three align methods:
• Align to selection (which you have probably selected)
• Align to artboard (exactly what it says on the tin)
• Align to Key Object (with multiple objects selected, click an already selected object again, [not holding shift] and it will get a thicker selection outline, and the object will align to it)

Although, now that I look at your OP image, you might be using an older version of Illustrator.

I can't remember if CS6 has Artboards.

>>243796
It does, CS5.5 has artboards

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not OP but side note;

whenever you're aligning while in Isolation mode it has the tendency to not recognize groups and will align individual objects, messing shit up.

What advantages does Corel have over Illustrator+Photoshop?

>>244735
..The Mighty Corel offers Todays Designers increased street cred, for one.

Absolutely nothing. I spent 10 years at a company that used Corel. It was a nightmare when sending/receiving files with other designers. I started there on version 9. I eventually took over the graphics department and shortly after they did the x7 update I switched us over to Adobe projects and it was a HUGE improvement in productivity. Then I left.
