Distribute objects according to a value you specify, by inserting a spacing value
•
between the facing edges of all selected objects. This method does not preserve the
total width or height of the selection.
A B
D E
A. Original placement B. Distributing within selection; equal spacing between top edges
C. Distributing by specifying value between top edges D. Original placement E. Distributing
within selection; equal spacing between facing edges F. Distributing by specifying value
between facing edges
When you use the distributing option, specifying a negative value moves objects left
along the horizontal axis, or up along the vertical axis. Positive values move objects right
along the horizontal axis, or down along the vertical axis. Specifying a positive value adds
space between objects, and specifying a negative value removes space between objects.
To distribute objects within the selection boundary with equal space between
facing edges:
1 If the Distribute Spacing section of the Align palette isn't visible, choose Show Options
in the Align palette menu.
2 In the Distribute Spacing section of the Align palette, make sure that Use Spacing is
deselected.
3 In the Distribute Spacing section of the Align palette, click the button to distribute
space along the horizontal or vertical axis.
To insert a specific amount of space between the centers or edges of objects:
1 In the Align palette, select Use Spacing in the Distribute Objects section, and then type
the amount of space you want to apply.
2 Click a button to distribute selected objects along their horizontal or vertical axes.
