Object Alignment by Using the Quick Align Command

With the Quick Align command, you can use objects, instances, and groups as the reference set and also use them as the target to which the reference set is to be aligned. The reference and target object can be the same object in the Quick Align command. By using the command, you can select the edges, centerlines, and points on objects in an instance or a group, which may be present at any level in the hierarchy.

The Quick Align command supports design-rule-driven (DRD) Enforce mode. You can specify the DRD rules that need to be enforced when the Quick Align command is active, by using the DRD Options form accessed from the Options - DRD Edit menu.

For details on how to use the smart snapping of ruler in the quick align command, see the video How to Use Smart Snapping of Ruler in Quick Align Command.
