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.
