Access Align Objects Dialog
Applied Parameters: None
Summary
This command is used to access the Align Objects dialog, which provides controls for quickly aligning the set of currently selected design objects as required.
Access
This command can be accessed from the PCB Editor and PCB Library Editor in the following way:
- Choosing the Edit » Align » Align command from the main menus.
In the PCB Editor, the command can also be accessed by clicking the
![](/documentation/sites/default/files/wiki_attachments/295776/PCB_Cmd-AccessAlignmentDialogButton.webp)
button on the
Alignment Tools drop-down (
![](/documentation/sites/default/files/wiki_attachments/295776/PCB_Cmd-AlignmentToolsButton.webp)
) of the
Utilities toolbar.
Use
Ensure that all objects you want to involve in the alignment are selected in the main design workspace.
After launching the command, the Align Objects dialog will open. Use the dialog to set options for both the Vertical and/or Horizontal alignment of the selected objects, as required, then click OK to effect alignment.
Tips
- Only selected objects that are free to move will be moved. Locked objects will not be moved.
- Enabling both Horizontal and Vertical options at the same time may result in a conflict with the selected objects becoming stacked on top of one another.
- Using the Space equally options can result in the moving objects being off-grid.
