Aligning objects
Illustrator makes it easy to align or distribute multiple objects relative to each other, the
artboard, or a key object. In this section, you'll explore the different options for aligning
objects.
Aligning objects to each other
The simplest type of alignment is aligning objects to each other, and that's what you'll do
next.
1.
Choose Select > RobotMouth to reselect the orange shapes.
2.
Click the Next artboard button ( ) in the lower-left corner of the Document win-
dow to fit the artboard with the orange and red shapes in the window.
3.
Select the Zoom tool ( ) in the Tools panel, and drag a marquee around the series
of orange-filled shapes to zoom in.
Note
The Align options may not appear in the Control panel. If you don't see
the Align options, click the word “Align” in the Control panel to open the
Align panel. The number of options displayed in the Control panel de-
pends on your screen resolution.
4.
Choose Align To Selection from the Align To button ( ) in the Control panel, if
it's not already selected, to ensure that the selected objects are aligned to each oth-
er.
