Align and Distribute question

[Dropout]

Hi All

Corel Draw does a great job with the align and distribute function but as far as I can tell it only works when two shapes are overlapping. I quite often have to butt two shapes up to each other and can't figure out an easy way to do so.

Ideas anyone?

Not sure I completely understand the question. From what I think you mean, you can turn snap to object on, grab one and bring it to the next until it snaps onto the other one.

If that's not what you're talking about, let me know. Can you show an example? Then I know we can help you.

First you have to select all object you want to align then perform appropriate function from pull down options, if all you want to do is align them.

The snap function might be it. I have never used it but will experiment.

Thanks.

Unfortunately there is no 'Spacing' function in Corel. If you want to butt two objects together bring up the Transformation dialog. Select on of the objects.

On the position tab of the Transformation dialog [the leftmost tab] uncheck 'Relative' and check the box that represents the side to be butted to the other object. Assume it's the right side for this example.

Copy the H [horizontal] coordinate for the right side of this object.

Select the other object.

Select the box representing the left side.

Paste the previously copied horizontal coordinate into the H text box.

Select 'Apply'.
