7 CorelDRAW Shortcuts for Alignment

Let’s talk about a few shortcuts in CorelDRAW when it comes to Alignment features, since these are most often needed in the production of graphic design (these are easy enough to memorize):

• Align Left = Keystroke L
• Align Right = Keystroke R
• Align Top = Keystroke T
• Align Bottom = Keystroke B
• Align Horizontally = Keystroke E
• Align Vertically = Keystroke C
• Center on Page = Keystroke P

Suppose I have two (or more) objects that I want to align in a particular fashion, let’s say, align left and bottom. I select one object, then shift-select the next one and press L and B on my keyboard. Note that the first object selected aligns to the second one selected. If instead, I want to center one object to another, I simply press C and E on my keyboard. This is much easier and faster than the Align/Distribute docker, which provides a similar function with many more options involved.
