Dave,

There is another tool that will do what you want quite easily.

Select the lines you want to move.
On the Edit toolbar, select the tool on the end (it really doesn't have a name - but I think it is Align to Line, not the Align and/or Evenly Distribute tool that you have been using).
Select the other line that you want to align with.
The Align to Line dbx will open.
Under Alignment check Centers. OK.

Glenn, I was referring to objects as opposed to lines. Like polylines, and or text blocks, etc.

I think you can do that. I believe you can alight the left edges, or right edges and I think they can be centered, I will double check in the am..

Scott, did you find a way to align all objects to the left edge of a middle object without using multiple steps?

The tool will only align the left edges of the left most object, or the right edge of the right most object, or the center, which who knows where that will be until you use it.

You can do what I am suggesting in 2 steps now, but if the tool were set up correctly, it would be one step. That is what I mean by "almost there" with the tool refinement. As I said, I had a conversation with the programmer, and they didn't see the value, that is what is frustrating.

No, I did not.
