Aligning objects

The Align panel enables you to align selected objects along the horizontal or vertical axis. You can align objects vertically along the right edge, center, or left edge of the selected objects, or horizontally along the top edge, center, or bottom edge of the selected objects. Edges are determined by the bounding boxes enclosing each selected object.

Using the Align panel, you can distribute selected objects so that their centers or edges are evenly spaced. You can resize selected objects so that the horizontal or vertical dimensions of all objects match those of the largest selected object. You can also align selected objects to the Stage. You can apply one or more Align options to selected objects.

Select the objects to align.
Select Window > Design Panels > Align.
