Tool

Arrange two or more selected features equidistant from each other. Spacing is measured from the centre of one feature to the centre of the next. The spread is calculated from distances between features.

Alignment commands are applied mostly to reposition text. However, you can align and space any selected features (for example, graphics or text blocks).

Commands can be applied sequentially. For example, apply the Align Top command and then apply the Spread Evenly Down command.

See the table for more information.
