Aligning and Distributing in CoreldDraw _ Part 9

 

Aligning and Distributing

Aligning or distributing objects. You can align objects or distribute space between them on the layout. When you align objects along their tops, bottoms, or sides, the objects align with the object farthest out of alignment.

 

You can align objects with each other and with parts of the drawing page, such as the center, edges, and grid.

You can align multiple objects horizontally or vertically with the center of the drawing page. Single or multiple objects can also be arranged along the edge of the page and to the nearest point on a grid.

Distributing objects automatically adds spacing between them based on their width, height, and center points. You can also distribute objects so that there is equal space between them. You can distribute objects over the extent of the bounding box surrounding them or over the entire drawing page.

Align to object :

- Select the objects.

- Click Object  Align and distribute  Align and distribute.

• Align left  to align the left edges of objects

• Align center horizontally  to align object centers along a vertical                  axis

• Align right to align the right edges of objects

• Align top to align the top edges of objects

• Align center vertically  to align object centers along a horizontal                 axis

• Align bottom to align the bottom edges of objects

-In the Align objects to area, perform any of the following tasks.

Distribute to objects

-Select the objects.

-Click Object Align and distribute Align and distribute.

-To distribute objects horizontally.

• Distribute left — evenly spaces the left edges of the objects

• Distribute center horizontally — evenly spaces the center points of the objects along a horizontal axis

• Distribute right — evenly spaces the right edges of the objects

• Distribute space horizontally — places equal intervals between the objects along a horizontal axis

- To distribute objects vertically.

• Distribute top — evenly spaces the top edges of the objects

• Distribute center vertically — evenly spaces the center points of the objects along a vertical axis

• Distribute bottom — evenly spaces the bottom edges of the objects

• Distribute space vertically — places equal intervals between the objects along a vertical axis

- To choose the area over which the objects are distributed.

• Extent of selection — distributes the objects over the area of the bounding box surrounding them

• Extent of page — distributes the objects over the drawing page
