layer in the selection.
•
Align Top Edges: Layers are moved vertically so their tops line up with the topmost layer in
the selection.
•
Align Bottom Edges: Layers are moved vertically so their bottoms line up with the bottommost
layer in the selection.
•
Align Far Edges: Layers are moved in Z space so their far edges line up with the furthest layer in
the selection.
•
Align Near Edges: Layers are moved in Z space so their near edges line up with the closest layer
in the selection.
•
Align Horizontal Centers: Layers are moved horizontally so their centers line up along the center
point between the leftmost and rightmost layers in the selection.
•
Align Vertical Centers: Layers are moved vertically so their centers line up along the center point
between the topmost and bottommost layers in the selection.
•
Align Depth Centers: Layers are moved in Z space so their centers line up along the center point
between the farthest and nearest layers in the selection.
•
Distribute Lefts: Layers are moved horizontally so the left sides of all layers are evenly
distributed, from right to left, between the leftmost and rightmost layers in the selection.
•
