Align selected drawing objects

You can align objects (texts, marks, notes and views) above, below, to the left, to the horizontal center, to the vertical center and to the right of the point you pick. You can also position objects horizontally or vertically at equal distances from each other.

  1. In an open drawing, do any of the following:

  2. To Do this

    Align selected views, texts, marks, and notes

    1. Select the objects that you want to align.

      You can select one or several objects using appropriate selection switches or filters and area selection, for example. If you want to align marks and notes only, you can use Drawing content manager for first selecting the building objects and then the related marks or notes.

      For more information about Drawing content manager, see Drawing content manager.

    2. Select the aligning command from the toolbar:

      Click to align objects above the point you pick.

      Click to align objects below the point you pick.

      Click to align objects to the right of the point you pick.

      Click to align objects to the left of the point you pick.

      Click to align objects to the vertical center of the point you pick.

      Click to align objects to the horizontal center of the point you pick.

      Click to position objects to the vertical center of the point you pick at equal distances.

      Click to position objects to the horizontal center of the point you pick at equal distances.

    3. Pick a location for the alignment.

      If you have mixed objects selected, such as views and text objects, you will be asked to select which objects you want to align.

    4. If you selected one of the two commands that position objects at equal distances, type the distance in the displayed dialog box and press Enter.
    Tip:

    To create a row of objects, align them first to the top and then position them horizontally at equal distances from each other. You do not need to reselect the objects between the two commands.

    Align selected marks and notes automatically

    • Click Align marks > Auto-align marks on the Annotations tab.

    This aligns the selected marks and notes by stacking the marks or notes and placing them evenly.

    Align selected marks and notes around a point

    • Click Align marks > Align to a point on the Annotations tab and pick a point.

    This command tries to avoid crossing leader lines when placing the marks.

    This command applies to all marks and associative notes, except weld marks.
