What are the alignment options available in Adobe XD and why should you use them?

The Alignment buttons in Property Inspector help you to aligh two or more shapes in the Artboard.

• Select multiple shapes by holding Shift and clicking them.
• Click the Alignment button

Alignment types:

• Align Top - will align selected shapes to top, so their top edges will be at the same horizontal level.
• Align Middle (Vertically) - will align selected shapes to vertical center, so their horizontal axis will be at the same level.
• Align Bottom - will align selected shapes to bottom, so their bottom edges will be at the same horizontal level.
• Distribute horizontally - This option is enabled only when you select three or more shapes. After clicking it, the shapes will be distributed horizontally so the vertical space between them is equal - in other words, the distance between the two adjacent shapes will be the same.
• Align Left - will align selected shapes to left, so their left edges will be at the same vertical level.
• Align Middle (Horizontally) - will align selected shapes to horizontal center, so their vertical axis will be at the same level.
• Align Right - will align selected shapes to right, so their right edges will be at the same vertical level.
• Distribute vertically - This option is enabled only when you select three or more shapes. After clicking it, the shapes will be distributed vertically so the horizontal space between them is equal - in other words, the distance between the two adjacent shapes will be the same.
