Selection and Alignment

Align, distribute and size selected objects with the Align menu.

The Align menu in the drawing editing controls positions the current selection. Most alignment commands require at least two eligible objects; distribution requires at least three. Selection and the open group determine which objects the command can affect.

1

Select the objects

Select the objects to arrange and open Align. If a command is disabled, check the number and type of selected objects and the current group scope.

2

Align edges or centers

Choose Align Left, Align Center, Align Right, Align Top, Align Middle or Align Bottom. These align drawing-plane bounds. The Elevation choices align to the lowest, average or highest elevation instead.

3

Distribute the selection

Use Distribute Horizontally, Distribute Vertically or Distribute by elevation for regular center spacing. Equal Gaps (H) and Equal Gaps (V) equalize the spaces between bounds instead; unequal object sizes make these results different.

4

Match size or follow a path

The menu also offers Match Width, Match Height, Match Both, quarter-turn rotation and Along Path commands. Choose a path command for path-based placement rather than treating horizontal distribution as spacing along a curve. Inspect the result and use Undo to reverse the command.
