        @Igull To space objects at a fixed distance: open the 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 !

                            is even possible to do some Math here
