I have a Rectangle, and I need to increase the width to align it to another rectangle. I’m zoomed all the way in, and so the mouse grab tab is somewhere way off. If it’s selected, I can move the rectangle with the arrow keys, but so often I need to stretch the width, and the only way I know how to do that is to grab the tab while zoomed out where it’s visible, or enter the size manually in the dimensions box until it fits. Is there a way to stretch with the arrow keys? Like ctrl-alt-arrowkey? I also havent figured out how to align two rectangles together, like right wall of one to the left wall of the other. thanks
Turn ON the SNAP TO OBJECT setting.

If they’re close to each other with nothing else in the way, the Dock tool will become your friend:
You can slam them together or leave a specific distance between them, as needed.
The Numeric Edit toolbar will adjust the width independently of the height when the Lock icon is unlocked:
That may not be quite what you want if you don’t know the exact size.
You can make two (or more!) things the same height or the same width:
But, yeah, sometimes you gotta just drag things around until the answer looks right …

You can also zoom all the way in and set Lightburn to 100 micron adjustments with Ctrl+Arrow
