Spacing
Space objects either horizontally or vertically in the Spacing dialog box available from the
Arrange menu. You have two spacing choices:
♦ Center-to-Center sets even spacing from the center of one object to the center of the
next.
♦ Gap sets even spacing from the edge of one object to the edge of the next.
Automatic spacing
When Automatic is turned on objects are evenly spaced between the two outermost objects
which are the anchor objects. The objects are sorted left to right (for horizontal spacing) or top to
bottom (for vertical spacing) and moved in that order.
User-defined distance
You can set a distance between objects when spacing. Turn off Automatic in the Distance box
and enter a value in the Horizontal or Vertical text boxes. The following rules apply to spacing
with a user defined distance.
