What to Align to - Reference

Specifies how the alignment is calculated. Each axis can be set separately, where:

  • Minimum - of All Objects aligns the bottom of all object bounding boxes with the object whose bounding box bottom has the lowest axis value.

  • Middle - of All Objects aligns objects according to the average midpoint of all their bounding boxes.

  • Maximum - of All Objects aligns the tops of all object bounding boxes with the object whose bounding box top has the highest axis value.

  • Minimum - of the First Selected Object aligns all object bounding box bottoms with that of the first object selected.

  • Middle - of the First Selected Object aligns all object bounding box midpoints with that of the first object selected.

  • Maximum - of the First Selected Object aligns all bounding box tops with that of the first object selected.
