      @Igull To space objects at a fixed distance: open then alignment panel and from the panel menu enable the Alignment Options.
      Select the objects, set a spacing amount in the Space field and use the fourth mode in the Align Position icon row.

      Absolutely wonderful, works a treat - you've saved me a pile of time 👍 👍 👍

      So many easter eggs in VS 🙂

        @VectorStyler I wonder if it would not be better for negative values to reduce the space between objects. Currently, the opposite is true.0_1687538664974_screenshot_20230623_184210.png

          @encart Depends on the order of the selection and the alignment direction.

            Yes, works with both pos and neg values - I always have my alignment set by geometry by default.

            Wish I had known this was here earlier - I've used it at least 5 times this afternoon LOL 🙂

              For more tricks, you can setup other custom alignment types using the Alignment Schema from the alignment panel menu.

                  Found a while ago a another possibility to distribute Objects
                  in a unique way in VS.
                  But don't know exactly what it could be useful for.
                  .
                  .
                  Anyway, it works like this

                  Apply a transform Move to an object.
                  Set the number of copies and a distance
                  ( so far so normal )
                  now activate the option "Transform each"

                  VS adds then the object distance value upon each copy step
                  (e.g.) distance 10
                  first 10, second 10+10 (20), third 20+10 (30) and so on...

                  recorded a video

                    @Subpath I'll add that one to my knowledge list 🙂

                    I'm sure a use will turn up at some point !
