Quick Align Shortcut Menu

The following table displays the options available on the Quick Align shortcut menu.

Field Description

Target Axis

Sets the Vertical or Horizontal axis for aligning the reference set of objects. By default, the target axis is created at the point of click in the design.

Spacing

Enables you to specify the spacing between the reference set and target object after alignment. The options available on the Spacing menu map to the No Spacing, Min Spacing, and User Spacing options on the Quick Align form.

Switch to copy mode or Switch to move/stretch mode

Enables you to switch between Copy and Move/Stretch mode of alignment. If the Move/Stretch mode is selected in the Quick Align form, then the Switch to copy mode option is available in this menu. However, if the Copy mode is selected in the Quick Align form, then the Switch to move/stretch mode option is available in this menu.
