Align Group Objects

 

The Align Group feature allows for selecting multiple objects on a oneline diagram and aligning them in a specified manner. There are a couple of ways to perform the alignment.

First, select the objects on the diagram that you wish to align. Once you have selected all objects, you can 1) right click on a selected object and choose Align Group Objects from the local popup menu or 2) use the Alignment menu found in the Formatting ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab.

The Align Group Objects option from the local menu will open the Align Dialog, which allows for specifying the type of alignment desired. Alignment can be performed horizontally, vertically, or both. In addition to alignment of the top, bottom, left and right edges of the selected objects, you can also choose to have the objects snap to the drawing grid in the horizontal and/or vertical directions as well.

These alignment actions can also be selected directly from the Alignment menu found on the Formatting ribbon group on the Draw ribbon tab.
