Spacing between Objects
-
Trying to space the objects at a given value. Looks like either it's not working or I am missing some setting.
Any help appreciated

@Subpath Thanks for the video. I had this same issue before and forgot to ask about it on the forum. I had thought you just edit the numerical information and it would work immediately. Your video made me realize I needed to change the amount and THEN choose the specific spacing action to see the result. This is better because you can choose which alignment option gets the numerical edit you enter...
-
@Kumr Can you mention which buttons did you try?
The 'Distribute at Equal Distances' buttons?
-
@Kumr Fourth button on the top row (position).
-
if i understand you right
this works only with the "Distribute at Equal Distances" buttons
if you change the value you must select it again to make
that change happen
-
@Subpath Thanks for the video. That makes sense.
@VectorStyler @b77 I was using "distribute equal distances tool" (fourth in the second row). May be the icon gave different impression to me at that time.
I noticed that the values to be in negative to get the spacing, it would help (for my mind) if it is other way around? Also request a preview option.
Again thanks for all the help.

I will change this.

I think you're right, the "Distribute Equal Distances" tool conveys at first glance this impression, also to me
But as a good tip, it is always recommended
to read the tooltips carefully or twice

@VectorStyler Thanks
@Subpath Agree. But when I am working with complex designs and especially on deadlines tend to go default intuitive mode. Getting there slowly... till all the VS functions get into memory.

@VectorStyler Thank you for changing to positive values.
