horizontal distribute center button not working illustrator

Community Beginner ,
Jun 30, 2020 Jun 30, 2020

I notived this yesterday that the horizontal distribute center is not working illustrator.

 

When you select objects and space them out, and then want an even distrubution you jsut press the horizonal distribution button, and that usually works perfectly.  However, it will now put them all to the objects to the most right object.  And then just today a new update came out, and I thought that it would be fixed within this update - but still not fixed.

 

All the other buttons seem to work as they should except for this one.  

 

Anyone else having this problem?

Hey @grafiskwingman: Are you still having issues with Distribute functions. Would it be possible for you to share a file or video where you are experiencing this (would go a long way in helping us understand this better). You can email me at vsharm@adobe.com.

 

Regarding the behavior desribed in your original post:

Do you still need to manually change "Align To" settings multiple times like in previous version (24.2). We believe this should have been only a one-time need. Again, please let me kn

Still broken on PC version 25.2... distribute buttons simply center objects inside selected "key" object.

I was having the same issue and was really frustrated but then I found the solution just double click the object you want to align and then select other items by holding shift. They should be in a group layer to be able to do this. After this you'll see align to selection and will be able to select it after that you'll be able to click Horizontal Distribute Spacing and hopefully, it'll work for you as well.
