In a Layout or Layout Region, you can align two or more objects to each other and distribute three or more objects equidistant from each other. You can also align and distribute objects relative to the Layout or Layout Region.
In Page view, select the objects you want to align by Shift+Clicking each one or by drawing a marquee around objects in the Layout.
If you select different types of objects, the Multi-Object panel appears. If the object properties appear, click the Position tab.
If you want the objects to align or be distributed relative to the Layout or Layout Region in which the objects are placed, select Relative to Layout.
In the Align section, specify the horizontal and vertical alignment.
When aligning objects, NetObjects Fusion 12 uses the object furthest in the direction you specify as the reference point. For example, if aligning left, the leftmost object is used; the topmost object is used when aligning top. When centering objects, NetObjects Fusion 12 chooses the average distance between the selected objects as the center point.
Select an option from the Horizontally section to align objects’ left or right sides, or to center them. If you select Relative to Layout, the objects align to the right or left side of the Layout, or are centered in the Layout, one on top of the other.
Select an option from the Vertically section to align objects’ top or bottom sides, or to center them. If you select Relative to Layout, the objects align to the top or bottom of the Layout, or are centered in the Layout side-by-side.
Select Horizontally or Vertically from the Distribute section to make selected objects equidistant.
Object alignment can have an impact on preserving your design and optimizing your code. See Optimizing HTML 4.01 with Tables Output.
