CompletedAdd alignment, positioning and sizing controls for Power BI/View report designers

I think this is a must not only for Power BI designers (the online one and the desktop one), but also the Power View designers (both SharePoint and Excel).
We need the ability to be able to align, resize and distribute components in a dashboard/sheet. I mean the controls we normally find with office tools such as:
* Alignment: Align left, right, top, bottom, centre, middle. Distribute horizontally and vertically. Snap to grid, view gridlines, set gridlines, etc.
* Positioning: Being able to see and specify x and y coordinates for objects.
* Sizing: Specify height and width values.
I feel these requirements are long overdue since the initial release of Power View years ago.

I like my charts to be neatly organized and aligned, and so I greatly miss the alignment and and adjustment functionalities of powerpoint. So please keep on ading new functions! Thanks

Why not offer both and provide a toggle switch to control the behaviour?

for the scatter plot - allow us control the SIZE of the bubble please - lots of data elements getting hidden behind others bc the bubble size cannot be controlled or scaled.
Thx

I completely agree. This functionality would be extremely useful. It takes way to long to create a decent looking report.

Plus Lock aspect. After creating report lock all the items. So background does not step to the front when you click on it or the same with shapes.
Also after locking the items you would not see boarders of the chart. It is really annoying to see all the boarders and by mistake move the charts.

Funny that I forgot to mention the bring to front/send to back in my feature request (I meant to -- I just forgot) and yet this was the *FIRST* bit that Microsoft added to Power BI in Q4/2015. ;)
RE: Add alignment, positioning and sizing controls for Power BI/View report designers
Totally agree! Examples provided in PowerBI are perfectly adjusted, aligned. How did you managed to do this? Manually? I don't think so...
Looking forward for such improvment.
