Step 1: Select Your Objects
Start by selecting the objects you want to evenly space. This can be done by clicking and dragging your mouse over the objects or by holding down the Shift key and clicking on each object individually.
Step 2: Go to the Align Panel
Next, go to the Align panel by clicking on Window > Align. If the Align panel is not already open, this will open it up for you.
Step 3: Choose Your Spacing Option
In the Align panel, choose your desired spacing option. If you want to space the objects horizontally, select “Horizontal Distribute Center” or “Horizontal Distribute Space.” If you want to space the objects vertically, select “Vertical Distribute Center” or “Vertical Distribute Space.”
Step 4: Adjust Spacing and Alignment
Once you have selected your spacing option, you can adjust the spacing and alignment by using the “Spacing” and “Align To” options in the Align panel. This will allow you to customize the spacing and alignment of your objects to your liking.
Step 5: Preview Your Changes
Before finalizing your changes, preview them by clicking on the “Preview” button in the Align panel. This will show you how your objects will look once they are spaced evenly.
Step 6: Apply Your Changes
Finally, apply your changes by clicking on the “Apply” button in the Align panel. Your objects should now be evenly spaced and aligned according to your preferences.
