Dear Adriana calderón,

A new post on the topic "Where's "Align > Relative to > Selection"?" by Haley_Halcyon:

TylerDurdenIt depends... there is a school of thought that feels there will be less downstream intervention if choice is restricted to only useful items. The reverse could result in users saying the tool is broken if they try the non-useful selections with (expectedly) no results, or an error message.Inkscape already has a bar of text on the bottom left of the window to non-disruptively show minor errors like “You cannot edit items in a locked layer”, “Not all selected objects are Paths or convertible into them”. That’s the perfect way to show an error message here if you really feel the need to show it, like “You cannot align (to first/last selected, largest/smallest, selection area) if you have (no objects / one object) selected.”That’s way better for workflow than hiding menu items. Some of us would like to see all the options so we can select where to align before we select the objects; hiding those options makes learning the program harder, too.
