In this video, author Shaun Bryant shows you how to align objects in layout viewports using the Align Space command in the AutoCAD Express Tools.
- [Instructor] Welcome to another tip and trick…in the world of AutoCAD.…We're going to be looking at one of the AutoCAD…express tools today, called Align Space.…Before we do that though,…we've got a drawing for you called AlignSpace.dwg.…And as usual, you can download that from the library…to follow along with this particular AutoCAD tip and trick.…So, we are in the A3 landscape tab…in the layout tabs in the drawing.…So, you've got four equally spaced viewports.…
What I'd like you to do is zoom in…on the top left viewport a little.…Get it so it's nice and central…on your AutoCAD screen, like that.…Now, what we're going to do…is we're going to align the space.…And in order to do that,…we want to basically align…what's in the viewport…to a different position in the layout in the viewport.…Now, that's much, much easier to show you…than it is to explain.…So, we go to the Express Tools tab in the AutoCAD window…and we go to the Layout panel.…
And there's Align Space there.…So we click on Align Space.…Come into the drawing area,…
