Using Distribute Objects

The distribute objects feature allows you to select a group of tiles and evenly space them
between each other using one of four methods:

Horizontally: Only active when more than one tile is selected. Tiles in between the tile

furthermost to the left and furthermost to the right are positioned evenly horizontally.

Vertically: Only active when more than one tile is selected. Tiles in between the tile

furthermost to the top and furthermost to the bottom are positioned evenly vertically.

By Type: With no tiles selected, all tiles are affected; with one or more tiles selected,

only the selected tiles are affected. Arranges the tiles in evenly spaced rows and columns
based on their types. The type order is:

• Menus

• Layered menus

• Tracks

• Stories

• Slideshows

• Scripts

Autolayout: With no tiles selected, all tiles are affected; with one or more tiles selected,

only the selected tiles are affected. The tiles are arranged based on connections, types,
and quantity.
