Layouts & Regions Window

Layouts & Regions allow custom regions within the Canvas to be defined. These regions can be used to easily position a Layer to within a defined Region

Creating Layouts

The Layouts window can be opened from the toolbar menu Settings > Layouts & Regions

Use the + New Layout button to create a new layout, then right-click the new Layout within the Layout list and choose Rename to change its name.

When a new Layout is added, it will contain 4 regions by default. A Layout can contain any number of Regions.

Use the + button below the Region list panel to create a region within the selected Layout.
Right-click a Region within the Region list and choose Rename to change its name.
Use the Left , Right, Top and Bottom sliders to adjust the Region properties. CTRL+Click to manually enter a slider value.

CTRL + Click within any slider to manually type a value

Using Layouts

Within the Geometry settings of a Layer, set Position Mode to Lock to Region. A Region within a Layout can then be selected. Once a Region has been set, the Layer will be locked within the boundary of the Region.

Show Layout Guides

The Show Layout Guides toggle can be used to keep the selected layout visible once the Layouts window has been closed.
