Align Objects

Click the Arrange | Align commands to align selected objects relative to the bounding box surrounding the selected objects. The objects can be aligned both vertically and horizontally.

 

When objects are aligned the bounding box automatically resizes to fit the outside boundaries that most closely fit the newly arranged objects. If you try to resize the bounding box the objects inside will increase in size as the bounding box increases in size. If you grab a corner to resize the bounding box the objects will remain proportionately accurate. If you resize by grabbing a side of the bounding box the objects will expand in that direction (for example, squares distorting to rectangles).

 

Left

Left aligns all selected objects along the left side of the bounding box.

 

Center

Center centers all selected objects between the left and right sides of the bounding box.

 

Right

Right aligns all selected objects along the right side of the bounding box.

 

Top

Top aligns all selected objects along the top of the bounding box. This alignment is available for drawing objects in all views and panes. This option is not available for log objects.

 

Middle

Middle centers all selected objects between the top and bottom sides of the bounding box. This alignment is available for drawing objects in all views and panes. This option is not available for log objects.

 

Bottom

Bottom aligns all selected objects at the bottom of the bounding box. This alignment is available for drawing objects in all views and panes. This option is not available for log objects.
