Does anyone know if it's possible to get x and y coordinates of objects in Adobe Express? I've returned to it after there not being enough functionality in the old version (mostly not being able to add Adobe fonts to Brands).
I figured out a way to create seamless carousels (in shhh Canva) using coordinates to place the same element across several pages but don't seem to be able to do the same in AE 😦

However, if that helps, you have smart guides available that helps you align according to the canvas, and also locally to other objects

#

see the magenta lines

#

Honestly, we all looking forward having real dimensions in Express 🙂

#

What I would do in AE is to set shapes (as rectangles/squares) and use them as guides (you can use lines as well. Those shapes can be copied over multiple pages so as to keep the continuity (you can reduce their opacity to 0, so they're there to align to, but invisible)

Yes, I reckon seamless carousels are the thing you can't really do with my method (That I'm using more to follow a grid system)
I use Photsohop when I need a seamless carousel (using artboards and layer comps)

But yes, we NEED guides and grids and dimensions!
