location of components on the screen

[GoogleCodeExporter]

 I'd like to have an ability to arrange the components on the screen in appliance with my desire in the AI designer-for example, to be able to locate a button right at the bottom of the screen regardless of size of the button and regardless of whether the upper part of the screen is fulfilled with other components. Maybe it's a bug, but I cannot locate the button on the right of the screen(if it's size doesn't take all the width of the screen), I cannot place it left from the center-if I drag it there, after I release the mouse button it's being pulled back to the left. Please, answer me as soon as You can, for clarifying is this a bug or a lack of such function

Hello,

It sounds like you want to use the TableArrangement. It is located under Screen 
Arrangement in the Palette. To place a button right from the center, put a 
table arrangement on your screen. Then, under the Properties panel for that 
table, add columns until there is one far enough to the right (the default 
number of columns is 2, but if you increase that to 4 or 5 you should be good). 
Then, drag your button to the furthest right most entry in that Table 
Arrangement.

Let me know if this helps. If the Table Arrangement does not solve your 
problem, we can look into other solutions.

Thanks a lot, it works, it's exactly what I wanted..I also could implement the 
desirable location with the help of empty labels, but the way you proposed is 
much better.Thank you)
