To align layers:

  • Select the layers you wish to align

  • Use one of the layer alignment options at the top of the property panel

If you select one layer, it'll align that layer using the canvas as reference. If you select multiple layers, it'll align them in reference to each other.

Alignment and distribution options

  • Align left: This enables you to align all selected layers to the left edge of the left-most layer.

  • Align horizontal center: This enables you to align all layers by their horizontal midpoints.

  • Align right: This enables you to align all selected layers to the right edge of the right-most layer.

  • Align top: This enables you to align all selected layers to the top edge of the top-most layer.

  • Align vertical center

  • Align bottom: This enables you to align all selected layers to the bottom edge of the bottom-most layer.

  • Distribute horizontally: This enables you to space out layers horizontally with equal distances between each.

  • Distribute vertically: This enables you to space out layers vertcally with equal distances between each.
