Use the following commands and buttons on the Draw menu of the Drawing toolbar to orient and arrange objects.

Snap submenu   You can align drawn or dragged objects to a predetermined grid by using the To Grid command, and you can align objects to other objects by using the To Shape command. |

Nudge submenu   You can use the four commands (Up, Down, Left, and Right) on this submenu to move selected objects with more precision than is normally possible with the mouse. |

Align or Distribute submenu   Use the alignment commands (Align Left, Align Center, Align Right, Align Top, Align Middle, and Align Bottom) to line up selected objects. Use the distribute commands (Distribute Horizontally and Distribute Vertically) to apply equal spacing to three or more selected objects. |

Rotate or Flip submenu   Use the Free Rotate command to rotate the selected object to any position. Use the Rotate Left and Rotate Right commands to rotate the selected object 90 degrees at a time. Use the Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical commands to change the selected object into a mirror image of itself. |
