The Edit menu > Align command allows you to align two or more shapes in your section in a variety of different ways. Clicking the Edit menu > Align command brings up a submenu with six different alignment options. Those options are Left, Center, Right, Top, Middle and Bottom.
To understand how the align command works you should visualize each shape enclosed by an imaginary bounding rectangle. The sides of the bounding rectangle always remain parallel to the Section Designer X and Y axes regardless of the rotation angle specified for the shape. In most cases (except for circles), changing the rotation angle can change the size of the imaginary bounding box.
Special note: For segments and sectors the bounding box is taken around the circle that defines the segment or sector rather than just the segment or sector itself.
Next, the Edit menu > Align command always aligns the selected shapes to the first selected shape. Thus it works best if you select the first object separately rather than windowing to select all of the objects at once.
Now we can describe the six different alignment options.
Left: Horizontally aligns the left side of the imaginary bounding rectangle of each selected shape to the left side of the imaginary bounding rectangle of the first selected shape.
Center: Horizontally aligns the center of the imaginary bounding rectangle of each selected shape to the center of the imaginary bounding rectangle of the first selected shape.
Right: Horizontally aligns the right side of the imaginary bounding rectangle of each selected shape to the right side of the imaginary bounding rectangle of the first selected shape.
Top: Vertically aligns the top of the imaginary bounding rectangle of each selected shape to the top of the imaginary bounding rectangle of the first selected shape.
Middle: Vertically aligns the middle (center) of the imaginary bounding rectangle of each selected shape to the middle (center) of the imaginary bounding rectangle of the first selected shape.
Bottom: Vertically aligns the bottom of the imaginary bounding rectangle of each selected shape to the bottom of the imaginary bounding rectangle of the first selected shape.
