5. While keeping the car centered with the body text (you should continue
to see the center alignment guide), drag the auto in a straight line,
toward the left of the Stage, until the guide snaps at the 30-pixel border
that you created previously.
You've aligned the car with the text as well as to the snapping border.
Align objects using the Align
panel
Previously, you used the Align panel to match objects to the size of the
Stage. Now you'll use the Align panel to center objects in relation to each
other, and in relation to the Stage.
1. With the Selection tool, click the text on the Stage that reads
"Introducing the World's First Hybrid 4WD."
2.
Shift-click the second line of title text, "2004 Trio QZ," to add it to
the selection.
3. In the Align panel (Window > Align), deselect To Stage and select Align
Horizontal Center.
You've centered the two rows in relation to their horizontal axes. Next,
you'll group the title text to center both lines in relation to the Stage.
4. With both lines of text still selected, select Modify > Group.
5. In the Align panel, select To Stage, and then select Align Horizontal
Center again.
With To Stage selected, the objects align in relation to the horizontal
center of the Stage.
6. Close the Align panel.
