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.

How is this feature enabled ? The status says completed... but it CANNOT be done on a dashboard.

How is this marked as complete when there is no alignment option for cards?

Why is this marked as completed? It's September 2017, and all I see is Show Gridlines and Snap Objects to Grid as far as any alignment tools are concerned. I just went through my report of 24 tabs and roughly 250 individual elements and aligned and sized everything by hand using X, Y, Height, and Width numbers under General Formatting. It's a good thing my 10-key is still pretty fast.
