The alignment toolbar

Most of the toolbar buttons in the next table work on a selection of multiple graphical objects.

To select one or more graphical objects, complete the following steps:

Click the graphical object you want to select. To select more than one graphical object, hold the SHIFT key and click the objects.
Fit the graphical objects in the rectangle, which you can draw by moving the mouse, while you hold down the mouse button.

The first selection is the reference used in case of an alignment. The first selection is highlighted; the second and consecutive selections are not highlighted.

Hinweis

You can change the attributes that multiple selected graphical objects have in common simultaneously.
