Alignments is a concept where structures can be marked as <code>Control</code> structures which control the alignment and <code>Inline</code> structures that will stay between the <code>Control</code> structures and will automatically move when a <code>Control</code> structure is moved. 

The Alignment Type is found in the pole properties tab. 

The four options for the Alignment Type are described below:

Alignment Type	Function
Auto	By default when stringing all structures are set to auto (unless using the standard structure long stringer). If there is a `Control` structure either side of an `Auto` structure then the `Auto` structure will behave line an `Inline` structure.
Inline	`Inline` structures will only move back and forward along the alignment when a user clicks on the structure and tries to drag it. They can have a transverse offset applied which can be reset to zero with the arrow.
Control	Any `Inline` or `Auto` structures between two `Control` structures are treated as on an alignment between the origin of the `Control` structures. This means that if one of the Control structures is moved then all the `Inline`/`Auto` structure will also be moved with them and the ratio of the span lengths will be maintained.
Free	`Free` structures are not part of any alignment so even if they are between two `Control` structures and one of the `Control` structures is moved they will remain in the same place. Likewise if they are between two `Control` structures they can be freely moved off the alignment.
