Objects can be aligned and/or distributed in relation to each other in 3D space. 3D object alignment/distribution is based on either the ground or working plane.
The Align/Distribute 3D command aligns and distributes multiple objects. Alignment and distribution is based upon the X, Y, and Z axes of the active layer plane or the X’, Y’, and Z’ axes of the working plane.
Keep in mind the following points about this command:
● 3D loci and locked objects are special objects and behave differently when present during an alignment/distribution operation.
● If a 3D 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.
● 2D screen objects are ignored by the Align/Distribute 3D command.
To align/distribute objects in 3D:
1. Select the objects to be aligned/distributed.
2. Select Modify > Align > Align/Distribute 3D.
The 3D Object Align and Distribute dialog box opens. Select the alignment/distribution criteria.
Click to show/hide the parameters.
3. Click OK.
The program aligns/distributes the selected objects.
