how to set equal distance between elements

edenbU7RGS — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 12:01:06 GMT

can I set equal distance between those line and block (w different attribute valve for each one) automaticity somehow? without moving each one of them manually?

the current distance is 400 and i want to change it to 425.

the dwg file is attached to the post.

Hi,

Yes you can by ARRAY <Rectangular> command ....

For attribute levels ... you have to use Fields as described HERE.

Did you use ARRAY command to space them out first by chance? @edenbU7RGS

If not you could install and use this freebie

Make a block of the series of dimension. Scale the the block by 1.0625 in Y (425/400). I like to do the scaling via the properties panel. Explode the block!

Convert all elements to a Block. Make sure that Scale Uniformly is not checked and Allow Exploding is checked.

Once they are a Block. Use the Properties Palette to change the Y scale to 1.0625. Then Explode the Block.
