Aligning Objects

The Alignment tools can be used to quickly line up selected objects.

To align objects:

1. Switch to the Plan view. This is not required, but makes it easier to visualize how the objects will be aligned.
2. Click the objects you want to align while holding the Shift key (to allow you to select more than one object).
3. From the Edit menu, click Align , and then the alignment command you would like to use.
