Aligns objects on the page.
Aligns the left sides of all selected objects with the left side of the dominant object. The dominant object is usually the last one selected and will be displayed with a solid bounding box.
Tip: You can change the dominant object by selecting one of the other objects in the selection.
Aligns the horizontal centers of all selected objects with the horizontal center of the dominant object. The dominant object is usually the last one selected and will be displayed with a solid bounding box.
Aligns the right sides of all selected objects with the right side of the dominant object. The dominant object is usually the last one selected and will be displayed with a solid bounding box.
Aligns the top sides of all selected objects with the top side of the dominant object. The dominant object is usually the last one selected and will be displayed with a solid bounding box.
Aligns the vertical centers of all selected objects with the vertical center of the dominant object. The dominant object is usually the last one selected and will be displayed with a solid bounding box.
Aligns the bottom sides of all selected objects with the bottom side of the dominant object. The dominant object is usually the last one selected and will be displayed with a solid bounding box.
Distributes the selected objects evenly down the page (vertically) so they are spread out evenly between the two outermost objects, with exactly the same amount of space between each pair. (The outermost objects may be moved a few pixels up or down in order to keep the spaces between all the objects the same.)
Distributes the selected objects evenly across the page (horizontally) so they are spread out evenly between the two outermost objects, with exactly the same amount of space between each pair. (The outermost objects may be moved a few pixels left or right in order to keep the spaces between all the objects the same.)
Resizes the selected objects so their width is the same as the dominant object's width. The dominant object is usually the last one selected and will be displayed with a solid bounding box.
Resizes the selected objects so their height is the same as the dominant object's height. The dominant object is usually the last one selected and will be displayed with a solid bounding box.
Resizes the selected objects so their width and height are the same as the dominant object's. The dominant object is usually the last one selected and will be displayed with a solid bounding box.
Restores the object to it's original size. (This feature is only available for certain objects.)
Aligns the selected objects to the page instead of the dominant object.
Arranges the object's z-order on the page.
Make the selected object the top-most object in the z-order for this page. This means that it will be displayed on top of any other objects that it overlaps.
Bring the selected object one object closer in the z-order for this page. This means that it will be displayed on top of any other objects that are behind it in the z-order if the objects overlap.
Place the selected object one object further away in the z-order for this page. This means that it will be displayed behind any other objects that are in front of it in the z-order.
Make the selected object the bottom-most object in the z-order for this page. This means that it will be displayed behind any other objects that overlap it.
Note: Some types of objects can't be displayed on top of other types of objects.
Selects all of the objects on the current page.
Deselects all of the currently selected objects on the page.
Inverts the current selection. This will select any objects on the page that aren't already selected, and deselect the ones that are.
Selects the object that is one level "lower" in the z-order—in other words, the object that is one step closer to the page.
Selects the object that is one level "higher" in the z-order—in other words, the object that is one step further from the page.
Creates a duplicate of the currently selected object. The new object will maintain all of the properties except for the object name.
Restores the currently selected object to its original width and height. (For image objects and video objects, this will be the original width and height of the image or video file.)
Groups the selected objects on the page. A group is just a bunch of objects that are always selected together, and that maintain their positions relative to one another when you use the alignment tools on them. It's almost like the group becomes a single object.
Ungroups the selected group on the page. These objects will no longer behave like a single object when using the alignment tools.
Locking an object renders it completely unselectable. This means you cannot move, resize or edit it's properties. Locking an object has no effect on the object at runtime.
Locks the currently selected objects on the page.
Locks all objects on the page.
Note: In order to unlock an object, you must right-click it and choose Lock from the right-click menu. This will disable it's locked state.
Unlocks all of the objects on the page.
Pinning an object means you cannot move or resize it, but you can still select it to edit it's properties. Pinning an object has no effect on the object at runtime.
Pins the currently selected objects on the page.
Pins all objects on the page.
Note: In order to unpin an object, you must right-click and choose Pin from the right-click menu. This will disable it's pinned state.
Unpins all objects on the page.
Automatically places the cursor on the Text setting of the currently selected object's properties. Once you choose this item, you can begin to type the new text you wish to display in the object.
Note: This item will be unavailable for any objects that do not support displaying text.
Opens the currently selected object's Properties dialog where you can modify it's settings.
