These functions are available for all types of objects.

Set the position of an object

You can set the position of an object precisely by entering the x and y coordinates of its upper-left edge.

The unit can be set in Settings.

The position (0, 0) is in the upper-left corner of the canvas.

Arrange the stacking order

Bring to front: moves the selected object, group, or layer to the top of the stacking order
Send backward: moves the selected object, group, or layer backward one position in the stacking order
Bring forward: moves the selected object, group, or layer forward one position in the stacking order
Send to back: moves the selected object, group, or layer to the bottom of the stacking order

Align objects

Align left: aligns the left edges of the selected objects
Horizontal align center: aligns the horizontal centers of the selected objects
Align right: aligns the right edges of the selected objects
Align top: aligns the tops of the selected objects
Vertical align center: aligns the vertical centers of the selected objects
Align bottom: aligns the bottoms of the selected objects
Align center: aligns the centers of the selected objects

Distribute objects

Distribute horizontally: spaces the selected objects evenly between the leftmost and rightmost edges of the objects in the selection area in the horizontal direction.
Distribute vertically: spaces the selected objects evenly between the leftmost and rightmost edges of the objects in the selection area in the vertical direction.

Reflect an object

You can reflect an object as required.

Reflect horizontally: reflects the selected object using the horizontal center line as the axis.

Reflect vertically: reflects the selected object using the vertical center line as the axis.

Set the size of an object

You can set the size of an object by entering its width (W) and height (H). The aspect ratio is locked when you insert or import an object into the canvas. You can click the Lock aspect ratio icon to unlock the ratio.
