Quick links to procedures on this page:
You can align an object to image elements, or distribute objects throughout an image.
Aligning objects
Objects can be aligned to each other, to the center of the image, to the edge of the image, or to the grid and guidelines. For information about aligning objects to the grid and guidelines, see Using the guidelines, grid, and rulers.
You can also align objects interactively by using alignment guides. For more information, see Using alignment guides.
Distributing objects
You can distribute objects by spacing them equal distances apart. Objects can be distributed vertically, horizontally, or both. Distribution is based on the distance between the centers of selected objects, or on the space between the adjacent edges of the objects.
