Auto Arraange Text Layers (So they are not overlapping)

[James Pyle]

I have 50 Text layers that are all on top of each other. I want to quickly stack them/space them out - but have not found a way to do this aside from just using move tool on each one to move it down.

Is this possible?

So just say I have 50 layers with text on them from 1-50 which currently is all on top of each other but I want the result to be like:
1
2
3
4
etc

in the artboard. Auto arrange and align don't seem to do this.

Hi James
The approach I give you may or may not meet your needs yet thought is worth mentioning
1)Position Layer 1 where you want it e.g. bottom or top of area
2) Position Layer 50 where you want it to be e.g. top or bottom respectively
3) Select all the Layers of Text
4) Use the Layer > Distribute > Vertically (thats the bottom of the drop down)

Doing the above will distribute the Text Layers evenly among Layer 1 and Layer 50
If you do not like the result then undo the distrubte, reposition Layer 50 (or Layer 1) and try again

There are probably other ways to do this that other forum members may mention.

Hope this helps
