I'm trying to make the baseball diamond squares image to represent each base but I can't align them right. I have Snap To Point set but it doesn't snap to the exact points I want. Here is my image and you can see what I mean by the squares not aligning like I want. It's a bit hard to tell but if you look close enough they aren't aligned perfectly and I want the spacing to be equal on both sides.



I'm new to using Adobe Illustrator so any help is appreciated!

It is easier to work with a square before it is rotated.


Create a square using the Rectangle Tool (M). Either click on the
artboard to enter the dimensions or drag-n-draw.
Then go to Object -> Transform -> Move. Enter a horizontal distance
and leave vertical distance at 0.
Select both squares and go to Object -> Transform -> Move. Enter a
vertical distance (same as the horizontal distance in the last step)
and leave horizontal distance at 0.
Select all 4 squares, move your cursor around the corner of the
bounding box, hold sift and rotate the selected squares. Or go to Object -> Transform -> Rotate and enter 45.
