User Guide - NetObjects Fusion

Chapter 6 Page View Basics
centering objects, NetObjects Fusion chooses the average distance between the
selected objects as the center point.
• Select an option from the Horizontally section to align objects’ left or right
sides, or to center them. If you select Relative to Layout, the objects align to
the right or left side of the Layout, or are centered in the Layout, one on top
of the other.
• Select an option from the Vertically section to align objects’ top or bottom
sides, or to center them. If you select Relative to Layout, the objects align to
the top or bottom of the Layout, or are centered in the Layout side-by-side.
• Select Horizontally or Vertically from the Distribute section to make
selected objects equidistant.
Note: Object alignment can have an impact on preserving your design
and optimizing your code. See “Optimizing Dynamic Page Layout
Output” on page 123.
Grouping Objects
In a Layout or Layout Region, you can group two or more objects to each other.
Grouped items are treated as a single object and can easily be copied, as well as
aligned, to create consistent design.
To group multiple objects:
1. In Page view, select the objects by Shift+Clicking each one or by drawing a
marquee around them.
2. From the Object menu, choose Group Objects>Group.
On the left, the objects are
aligned horizontally to the
left; on the right, the
objects are aligned the
same way relative to the
Layout
