Problem with 2d sketches over lapping when trying to align them to save space

I scanned a model plane print. I out lined the pieces needed and moved them over my work area. when i
I try to move them together to save wood. they over lap each other

What’s preventing you from moving the parts in a way that they are not overlapping?

Thank you for responding, It happens when I use Auto align, it doesnt see the boundaries and stacks them over each other

I’m not familiar with auto-align. How are you doing this?

Can you take a screenshot of what you’re seeing?

I can when im home tonight, thank you

I am having trouble with the align feature
SAMPLE PIECES
VERTACAL LLIGN
selected values vertical

That’s how alignment works. Looks like you’re selecting all the shapes and then asking them to be vertically aligned. That’s what you’d expect.

You may want to try the Arrange->Dock tools or Arrange->Distribute.

i will try, thank you
