The Align/Distribute command aligns and distributes multiple objects in the screen plane. Alignment and distribution is based upon the vertical and horizontal axes, relative to the screen.
To align/distribute objects:
1. Select the objects to be aligned/distributed.
2. Select Modify > Align > Align/Distribute. The Align/Distribute Objects dialog box opens.
Alternatively, Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac) on one of the selected objects and select Align/Distribute from the context menu. The most common align and distribute commands display on a flyout context menu. Select the desired command, or select Align/Distribute to open the Align/Distribute Objects dialog box.
3. Select the object alignment/distribution criteria. Objects are only moved along the horizontal and vertical axes.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
4. Click OK.
The program aligns/distributes the selected objects.
Loci and locked objects are special objects and behave differently when present during an alignment/distribution operation.
If a locus point is one of the selected objects, all objects are aligned relative to that locus. If there are multiple loci in the selection, then the loci are aligned/distributed like any other object.
Locked objects in a selection do not move. Other objects are aligned/distributed relative to the locked objects.
