Help w/ Alignment

Postby DrT » Wed Nov 21, 2018 7:38 am

Hi!

I am a newbie! I am using Inkscape 0.91 running on Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, w/ Service Pack 1.

I have a document 12 (H) by 16 (W). Outside the document, I have four rectangles: )1) 2.5 by 4, (2) 2.5 by 4, (3) 5 by 4, and (4) 2.5 by 4.

How do I align the objects so that they fill the document horizontally w/o gaps in between?

Thank you!

Dr. T

I would use Snapping, possibly aided by Guides. http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... pping.html

I'd use the Align and distribute dialog. Object > Align and distribute, or, even easier, the dialog Object > Arrange

Dear Brynn and Moini,

Thank you for your replies.

I’ll try all three: snapping, align, and arrange.
