Alignment Tools

Aligning Objects

Align allows you to align objects in relation to another object, or to align objects to the design area.

Aligning Objects to another Object

• Select the objects.

If you select the objects by dragging a bounding box, the first object that was created is used as the Stationary Object. If you select the objects by clicking them while holding Shift, the first object selected is used as the Stationary Object.

• Do one of the following:
  • From the Arrange menu, point to Align and select how the objects will align.
    
  • Right-click the selected objects, point to Align and select the desired alignment.
    

In the example below, the yellow square is used as the Stationary Object for the alignment.

Aligning Objects to the Design Area

• Select the objects.
• From the Arrange menu, point to Align and select how the alignment will be done.

If you have set a margin, the objects will be aligned to this margin.
