As any FileMaker developer will tell you, working with a complex layout can be a bit of a hassle. That is, of course, unless you know how to take full advantage of the Object Inspector palette!

And, the best part is this can be done within a few clicks - saving a lot of time from having to select and move heavily layered layouts.
