We’d like to request a Distribute tool for spacing objects evenly in DG 17.
Current behavior
When we place 3 or more objects (names, numbers, logos, repeated designs), we have to space each one by hand. It’s slow, and the spacing is rarely perfect.
Requested change
Add a Distribute command that works when 3 or more objects are selected:
  • The user picks a direction: Left to Right (horizontal) or Top to Bottom (vertical).
  • DG 17 sorts the selected objects by position in that direction.
  • It measures the gap between the first and second object.
  • It places every object after the second at that same gap, one after another.
  • This lets us set the spacing once, using the first two objects, and have the rest follow it exactly.
    Nice to have
  • A choice between edge to edge spacing and center to center spacing
  • The standard distribute mode as well, where the first and last objects stay in place and the space between is divided evenly
  • A numeric field for typing an exact gap
  • Why it matters
    This saves real time on layouts with repeated elements and keeps every design consistent and organized. It would make working in DG 17 much more pleasant.
    Thank you for considering this.
