Where to find itEdit › Step and repeat … (⌥⇧⌘U)
Duplication and step-and-repeat create further copies of selected objects. Dragging with Alt held down also makes a copy. Alignment and distribution arrange several objects along a shared edge or with fixed spacing. For a row of product boxes, you can design one example and then arrange its repetitions. The copies are document objects and appear at their new positions in output.
How to do it
- Select the objects and open Edit › Step and repeat …
- Set the count and offset and confirm.
- Select the resulting objects and align or distribute them with the spacing you need.
Tips
- Use Duplicate (⌥⇧⌘D) for a single copy.
