Add Line Elements:
Go to the “Elements” tab and search for “line” to add line elements to your design.
Select Multiple Lines:
Duplicate the line by selecting it and pressing Ctrl + D (Windows) or Cmd + D (Mac) multiple times.
Select all the lines you want to space evenly. You can do this by clicking and dragging to create a selection box around the lines or by holding down the Shift key and clicking each line individually.
Use the ‘Position’ Tab:
With the lines selected, go to the top menu and click on the “Position” button.
In the Position menu, you will see options for aligning and spacing elements.
Choose ‘Space Evenly’:
If you want to space the lines vertically, select the “Vertically” option under the “Space Evenly” section.
If you want to space the lines horizontally, select the “Horizontally” option under the “Space Evenly” section.
If the Tidy Up, Vertically, and Horizontal buttons are grayed out, that means the lines are already spaced evenly.
Use ‘Tidy Up’:
Alternatively, you can use the “Tidy Up” button, which also appears in the Position menu when you have multiple elements selected. This feature automatically spaces the selected elements evenly.
