Aligning Components in the Layout Editor
You can select and drag any component or group of components that has the
same parent within the layout area. In addition, the Layout Editor provides a
number of features that facilitate more precise alignment of objects with
respect to one another:
• Alignment Tool — align and distribute groups of components.
• Grid and Rulers — align components on a grid with optional snap to grid.
• Guide Lines — vertical and horizontal snap-to guides at arbitrary locations.
• Bring to Front, Send to Back, Bring Forward, Send Backward — control the
front to back arrangement of components.
Aligning Groups of Components — The Alignment
Tool
The Alignment Tool enables you to position objects with respect to each other
and to adjust the spacing between selected objects. The specified alignment
operations apply to all components that are selected when you press the
Apply
button.
Note To select multiple components, they must be contained in the same
figure, panel, or button group.
