Here's an overview of
the Illustrator align palate (shift
+ F7) , this is very handy tool and
excellent for moving and aligning multiple
illustrator objects together. Below I have
highlighted and numbered the different options
available.
1. Align the objects
to the left.
2. Align the objects to the vertical center.
3. Align objects to the right.
4. Align to the top.
5. Align to the horizontal center.
6. Align to the bottom.
To align
objects in Illustrator, select the objects
using the 'selection
tool'
by either clicking on them one by one, holding
down the shift key, or by click and dragging
the mouse over the objects you want aligned.
When the objects are selected you can use
a variety of alignments e.g. if you clicked
number 1 and then number 5 it would align
to the left and them align the objects to
the horizontal center.
Below is a quick example of some options
available.
Random objects
of different sizes.
All the objects
selected together and number 2 on the
align panel selected.
'Align the objects to the vertical center'
Again all the
objects selected, and number 5 clicked
on.
'Align to the horizontal center'
The best thing to do
is to select several objects and play around
with the settings available, note you can
align anything in Illustrator, including text
boxes and images.
by either clicking on them one by one, holding
down the shift key, or by click and dragging
the mouse over the objects you want aligned.
