When grids or guidelines on the Layout window are disabled, you can align layout frames in the following ways:
- Align a layout frame with respect to either the page margin or the page center lines - horizontal and vertical.
- Align layout frames with respect to each other.
Aligning a Layout Frame to the Page Margin
If a single frame is selected on the Layout window and the guidelines on the page are disabled, then using any Snap To command will align the selected frame with the page margin. Using Align Horizontal Center or Align Vertical Center will move the frame such that its center is aligned with the page center.
Note: The page center is based on the page width/height minus the page margins.
Snap To Left | The left edge of the selected frame is snapped to the left page margin. | |
Snap To Right | The right edge of the selected frame is snapped to the right page margin. | |
Snap To Top | The top edge of the selected frame is snapped to the top page margin. | |
Snap To Bottom | The bottom edge of the selected frame is snapped to the bottom page margin. | |
Align Horizontal Center | The vertical center line of the selected frame is snapped to the vertical center line of the page. | |
Align Vertical Center | The horizontal center line of the selected frame is snapped to the horizontal center line of the page. |
Aligning Layout Frames to Each Other
If more than one frames are selected on the Layout and the guidelines on the page are disabled, then using any Snap To / Align Center option will align the frames with each other.
Snap To Left | The left edges of the selected frames are aligned with the left edge of the left-most frame. | |
Snap To Right | The right edges of the selected frames are aligned with the right edge of the right-most frame. | |
Snap To Top | The top edges of the selected frames are aligned with the top edge of the top-most frame. | |
Snap To Bottom | The bottom edges of the selected frames are aligned with the bottom edge of the bottom-most frame. | |
Align Horizontal Center | The vertical centers of the selected frames are aligned. | |
Align Vertical Center | The horizontal centers of the selected frames are aligned. |
