Spacing components equally??

Is there a way to space equally? For example, spacing a column of terminals equally.

This may or may not apply to what you're trying to do... but you can use the
"Align Component" command (under the "Scoot" toolbar flyout) to pick one
terminal as the "master" and then pick/pick/pick other terminals on other
wires to "align" with the master you picked.

Alternately, you could turn "SNAP" on prior to inserting the terminals.

SNAP would work for placing components. I was asking for a way to space components from one another equally AFTER they have been placed on the drawing.

Other than what Nate suggested, I am not aware of a way to do that automatically. For schematic drawings, I work to a 1/2" grid and use 1/4" snap, and simce I use a custom symbol library, they are all made to fit that concept. For panel layouts, I use 1/2" snap. Bot methods make it fairly easy to keep all devices lined up.

Try using the "ARRAY" command. This will allow you to copy your block after it has been placed on your drawing. You can copy an infinite number of times at a specified distance and direction.

Hope this helps.

Ooops!! I forgot the Array command is not an Electrical command, but if you use the MULTIPLE INSERT command from the Electrical Toolbar you should be able to copy a component multiple times.
