Alignment Tools

Use

The Alignment Tools are a set of tools used to control the alignment of objects in the viewport, primarily in 2D perspective.

Using the Alignment Tools, you can do the following:

Align objects in the viewport.
Equally distribute objects across the viewport, horizontally or vertically.
Center objects within the viewport, horizontally or vertically

Note

To align objects, you must have a minimum of two objects selected, and to distribute objects, you must have a minimum of three selected. The first object selected serves as the focus object, which means that any subsequent alignment is based upon this object's location.
