Align and distribute

Align selected drawing objects, distribute their centers or make the gaps between them equal.

Alignment moves the selected objects onto a shared edge or center line. Distribution spaces them across an axis. These are drawing commands with selection requirements: alignment and size matching need at least two objects, while distribution needs at least three.

1

Select the drawing objects

Select the editable objects to arrange in the drawing workspace. Locked, unavailable or out-of-scope objects cannot be changed by these commands.

2

Choose an alignment command

Use the alignment controls or find a command such as Align Left or Align Right in the command palette. Edge alignment uses the corresponding outer selection edge. Center alignment aligns the centers along the chosen axis.

3

Choose center spacing or equal gaps

Use Distribute Horizontally or Distribute Vertically for regular center spacing. Use Equal Gaps (H) or Equal Gaps (V) when the empty space between neighboring objects should be equal. The two outer positions remain the limits of the arrangement.

4

Match size when needed

Choose Match Width, Match Height or the offered combined-size command. The default reference is the last-selected object. Review the result on parametric objects rather than assuming every object can change size in the same way.

5

Review or undo

Inspect the arrangement after the command. Undo reverses the applied operation. A disabled command indicates that the workspace or selection does not meet its requirements.
