For example, clicking Align Left aligns the left edges of all selected widgets with the left edge of the last selected widget. To align widgets select at least two widgets, click on Edit in the Main Menu and point to one of the following options:
Align left
Align center
Align right
Align top
Align middle
Align bottom

In order to distribute wigets equal distance you need to select at least three different widgets in the working area. Then select one of the following options in the toolbar:
Distribute vertically
Distribute horizontally
Move a widget forward or backward

To automatically create a Dynamic Panel which contains a set of widgets, first select the widgets and right-click on any of them. Then select the option "Group into Dynamic Panels".
Lock or Unlock widgets
Widgets can be 'locked' so they cannot be moved or resized. To lock or unlock a widget, use the right-click menu on the widget and select "Lock" or "Unlock". You will also find these options enabled in the top toolbar or the Properties panel once the widget is selected.
