Set distribute space between all selected objects?

[Lee Brock]

Is there a way to specify as opposed to averaging (layout/arrange/distrib) the spacing between selected objects?

I'm working on recreating a layout that displays small grouped tables in various areas of the page.

I've kinda figured out that if I do the math and then position and lock the top and bottom objects in the group I can get pretty close to getting the space I want between my objects vertically. But that's time consuming, not exact, and that doesn't work horizontally since all the text objects are various widths. I've been using the T-square and object info tools, but that's also time consuming. And then if I have to make changes to the layout, I have to start over.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Short answer: no.

Tell it like it is, brother.

I'm getting the hang of it all. And although it's all very time consuming, I'm getting quicker. Just keep on keeping on.

Thanks
