  • align to artboard problem

    Posted by Laura Shapiro on April 25, 2010 at 9:51 pm

    Hi, All. I am trying to center an object on the artboard. Tutorials online tell me to select the object, choose “align to artboard” in the align panel and click the center buttons. I’ve tried this several times, but nothing happens. Am I missing a step? Or is there another way to do this? Thanks! Laura

    That’s the way, unless there’s something really un-obvious. Such as your object is way bigger than the artboard. Or you might have a corrupt installation or something is funky about your system or your program.

    I was having the same problem,
    My Align options were set to “Align to Selection.”
    I have changed it to “Align to Artboard” and everything is fine.
    These options can be found in the top right corner of the Align window, by clicking “Show Options.”
