Align/Distribute Menu Options

The Tools menu contains the alignment and distribution options that are available via the Alignment Tool.

The Smart Align and Distribute option aligns objects into rows and columns with equal spacing between each object. It is useful when you have a number of objects to align that can be positioned in an m-by-n grid.

For example, the following figure contains six axes that have been placed approximately into two columns in the figure.

To align all axes in a grid, select each axes (Shift+click on each one), then select Smart Align and Distribute from the Tools menu. The resulting alignment and distribution of the axes are shown below.
