Layouts

• Items can be aligned relative to each other:
  • Horizontally: left edges, centers, or right edges
  • Vertically: top edges, centers, or bottom edges
  • Spread out horizontally or vertically
• Items can be aligned relative to the page:
  • Centered left to right (horizontally) on the page
  • Centered top to bottom (vertically) on the page
• Items can be ordered relative to each other:
  • Pulled to front, to draw on top of others
  • Pushed to back, to draw behind others

You can also duplicate layout items. These commands are also available on the context-sensitive menu that is displayed when you click the right mouse button on annotations in a layout.

When you use the Edit-Align command or the alignment tools on the toolbar, items are aligned with respect to the first one you selected.

When you use the Edit-Arrange command or the arrange tools on the toolbar, the spacing between items is normally set to one-quarter inch. You can change the default spacing of layout items using the Edit-Preferences command.
