You can align two or more shapes with one another. You can click and drag your cursor across multiple shapes to select them or you can press Shift on the keyboard and click on the shapes you want to align. The shape that the other selected shape(s) will align with is the shape with the darkest selection border, indicating the primary shape of the selection. In the example below, the bottom shape is the shape that the top shape will be aligned with.
