Dock
Align selected objects to one edge of the selection bounds, with optional padding.
The Dock dialog moves objects within a selection so they all touch one edge of the selection's bounding box. It is faster than aligning manually when you have many objects to push together.
When it opens
Menu: Arrange → Dock, with two or more objects selected.
Fields
| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Move as Group | toggle | Move all selected objects together rather than docking each individually. |
| Lock Inner Objects | toggle | Keep nested / child objects in their relative positions. |
| Padding | mm (number, min 0, step 0.5) | Optional gap between docked edges. |
Buttons
The 2×2 button grid is the action, each button immediately docks the selection in that direction:
- Dock Left: push all selected to the leftmost edge.
- Dock Right
- Dock Up
- Dock Down
Footer: Close.
Notes
- No explicit Apply or Cancel, the dock direction buttons run the operation immediately. Close just dismisses the dialog.
- Settings persist across uses, so the next time you open the dialog the toggles and padding remember what you last used.
