This isn't the first time this has happened. I have about six lines that I would like distribute evenly in Illustrator. However when I use the ...distribute evenly tool in the align tool box - the lines are distributing themselves not within the two outer lines but inside the artboard. I can't figure out why it does this. I think it's even happened in earlier versions. I tried rebooting (which is what I thought had solved the problem last time) but that didn't help. Doesn't matter if it's horizontal or vertical. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I tried searching the threads but I didn't come up with anything.
