Distributing Objects

(This video represents an older version of Flexi; while some elements of the program may be different, the tools in this article should operate largely the same.)

 

Distributing allows you to uniformly position a number of objects throughout an area.

Distributing Objects over the Area of the Selection

The first set of Distribute options allows you to evenly distribute the objects over the area covered by the original selection.

For instance, if the Left Edge option is selected:

  • The leftmost and rightmost objects will remain where they are.
  • The other objects will be uniformly spaced out so that there is the same distance between the left edges of each object.

To distribute the objects:

  • Select the objects.
  • From the Arrange menu, point to Distribute and select the edge or center line that will be used to position the objects.

Distributing Objects throughout the Design Area

The second set of Distribute options allows you to distribute the selected objects over the entire design area.

  • Select the objects.
  • From the Arrange menu, point to Distribute and select the edge or center line to be used to position the objects:
