Align Rectangle Centerlines

[canyon289]

Hi,

I have a very simple problem but I'm having a hard time finding an answer.

 

Is there an easy way to align rectangle centerlines?

 

Similarly is there an easy way to align circle centerpoints either vertically or horizontally?

 

Thanks in advance

Move with tracking?

I'm having a hard time understanding the exact problem - can you attach the file here?

I created two randomly placed rectangles. How can I align the centerlines of the rectangles to be colinear, vertically or horizontally?

 

Thank you for the help

Circles are easy. With your properties box open select all of them and assign the appropriate X or Y coordinate.

 

I think the rectangles have to be done one at a time. Mr. Mather's method is the way I would do it.

Use the Mid between two points

 

Gives you this in one move

I did this but I'm having trouble with the Align command. I know it's super basic but whats the step by step. I apologize for having to ask at this level.

 

Thank you

I used the Move command, not the Align command

Re circles there is an option hardly used when doing commands you can .X or .Y and it will ask for another point and use that points X value etc.
