Dragging new containers is kiling me!!!!!!

mmaack 27 Sep, 2016
I've been beating my head against a wall trying to drag a new container within a multi-column contain. Each time I drop on the item, it lands outside the container box. And since there is NO WAY to drag and drop existing containers, I'm stuck playing dog fetch the ball trying to repeatedly create a multi column container.

Really frustrated.........

Hi mmaack,

There is a knack to it - but if you make sure that the container that you are dropping into has its border highlighted in black then the new container should drop into the right place.

Thanks again for the prompt reply.

The border was in fact highlighted on the object container, but when I released the new container on the box, the new container would land outside the box. After a long struggle, I was able to make it work, but time is money and the process took an inordinate amount of time to complete a seemingly simple task.

P.S. In my haste to vent, I didn't catch my spelling gaffe in the post title.... Shame on me! 😀

Hi mmaack,

I'll fix the typo . . .

I've done a lot of dragging with my fair share of errors though only at the 'occasionally irritating' level but I am working on quite a big screen which may make it easier.
