These four commands are available as Run Menu Commands, and from the Customize Ribbon dialog (so they can be used in the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT), or added to a mini-toolbar such as the Layout mini-toolbar, etc.).

  • Distribute Horizontally: distributes the horizontal space between selected objects evenly with respect to each other. The selected objects are distributed with respect to the left, and right boundaries of the MBR of the selected objects.
  • Distribute Vertically: distributes the vertical space between selected objects evenly with respect to each other. The selected objects are distributed with respect to the top, and bottom boundaries of the MBR of the selected objects.
  • Distribute Horizontally on the Page: distributes the horizontal space between selected objects evenly with respect to the current page settings. The selected objects are distributed with respect to the top, bottom, left, and right margins of the layout page.
  • Distribute Vertically on the Page: distributes the vertical space between selected objects evenly with respect to the current page settings. The selected objects are distributed with respect to the top, bottom, left, and right margins of the layout page.
See Customizing the Ribbon in the MapInfo Pro help to add new commands using the Customize Ribbon dialog.
Out of the four new commands, the following two commands are also available in the Alignment menu under the LAYOUT tab:
