Okay, Okay, Wait a minute. :-) I have a group with items in it that I want to align with other items that are 'not' in the group. But the items in the group are under other items so I have to 'edit group' to get to them but then I no longer can see the items that are not in the group and one of them is the one that I need to align to. Different items in the group need to align with different items outside of the group.
