Introduction

This is what we'll tidy up in this episode: four feature cards whose positions are often aligned to the top, equally spaced, and precisely centered on the page, all using the E-Line panel. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Aligning objects by eye is almost always off by a few millimeters. The E-Line panel does it with precision in one click.

Step 1: Align Panel

Open the feature card file. There are four colored boxes whose positions are not aligned. Open the E-Line panel from the Dock, or press Shift-F7. The first row contains the E-Line Object button, the second row Distribute Object, and below that is the E-Line 2 option.

Step 2: Align Top

Select the four boxes by dragging a selection area around them. Click E-Line Top Edges. All boxes adjust their top edges to align with the topmost box. Still with the four boxes selected, click Distribute Horizontal Centers.

Step 3: Distribute Spacing

The centers of these boxes are equally spaced. Since the boxes are the same size, the distance between them also becomes equal.

Step 4: Align To Margins

Change the E-Line 2 option to E-Line 2 Margins. Click E-Line Horizontal Centers, then E-Line Vertical Centers. The entire row of boxes is treated as a single group and placed precisely in the center of the page margins.

Step 5: Key Object

Sometimes one object must remain fixed as a reference point. Change E-Line 2 to E-Line 2 Key Object, then click the first box again so its edges thicken. That is the Key Object. The next E-Line command aligns other objects with this box.

Step 6: Text inside the card

Double-click each box to type the feature title. Fast, safe, efficient, and user-friendly. Since each box is the same size and already aligned, the titles also appear uniform.

Done!

Done. We've used E-Line Top Edges, Distribute Horizontal Centers, E-Line 2 Margins, and Key Object to create a precise card series. In the next episode, we'll use the Gap Tool and Smart Guide to adjust the spacing between photos.
