Hello all,
Basic question; Does anyone have a tip for putting any item to the right of a visibility region? I'm trying to place an action button immediately to the right of a region but it always ends up inside it.
Sorry if its a low bar question but after dragging and dropping so many times, I wish I could just move it with a script.

Place a blank header where you want both items, place the button to the right of the header, then place the visibility region on the right side of the header. Then delete the header. Then you should be able to resize the button and visibility region. It helps to only have one row of items in the visibility region while you are doing this.

I use sections quite a bit when trying to move around whole visibility areas- create a new section, the blank header like Michael said and then move your visibility section.
Hope that helps-- it can be frustrating!

I have found that you have to plan ahead and do some gymnastics to move an item to the side of a vis field. I tend to create several blank text objects with solid background colors (makes it easier to tell where to drag and drop.) and place them where I want the vis field at. Then place the visibility field between the 2 blank text items, and you should have the following situation:
-----Red Text Object ------ | -----Vis Field-----| -----Blue Text Object ------
Now place the item you want on the right side of the Blue Text Object. it will look like this:
-----Red Text Object ------ | -----Vis Field-----| -----Blue Text Object------ | ---- Other VFE Item -----
Finish up by deleting the Red and Blue Text Objects, and Ta-Da! you have an item on the right side of the visibility field:
-----Vis Field----- | ---- Other VFE Item -----
Sections are a much easier solution, but if you already have everything in a single section, this is my suggested workaround.
