Align Multiple Forms Design Objects
When you select multiple objects in the Forms Design window, Sage 50 can align these objects in relation to each other using the Line Up tool. As a general rule, the Left, Right, and Vertical options align objects on a vertical line. The Top, Bottom, and Horizontal options align objects on a horizontal line. You can make a group of objects the same width, height, or both using the Resize tool. These tools are available on the Object toolbar.
Note: If you do not see the Object toolbar, go to the Options menu and select to show the Object toolbar.
