Aligning objects

The Align commands in the Modify menu give you a wide range of arrangement options, allowing you to do any of the following:

• Align objects along a horizontal or vertical axis.
• Align selected objects vertically along their right edge, center, or left edge, or horizontally along their top edge, center, or bottom edge.

  NOTE

  Edges are determined by the bounding boxes enclosing each selected object.

• Distribute selected objects so that their centers or edges are evenly spaced.

You can apply one or more Align commands to selected objects.

To align selected objects, do one of the following:

• Select Modify > Align > Left to align the objects to the leftmost selected object.
• Select Modify > Align > Center Vertical to align the center points of the objects along a vertical axis.
• Select Modify > Align > Right to align the objects to the rightmost selected object.
• Select Modify > Align > Top to align the objects to the topmost selected object.
• Select Modify > Align > Center Horizontal to align the center points of the objects along a horizontal axis.
• Select Modify > Align > Bottom to align the objects to the bottommost selected object.

To evenly distribute the widths or heights of three or more selected objects:

• Select Modify > Align > Distribute Widths or Modify > Align > Distribute Heights.
