Hi there,
what is the best way to copy an item multiple times (let's say 30), when you have a fixed start and end point?
Up to now I set the first and last object and then press [ctr] + d 28 times, then distribute them all with "distribute and align". Not quite elegant...
There's that "Multiple Clone" tool, but that seems to be a bit too complicated for me, as it never does what I want :-) Is there a howto for it?
Maybe someone of you can give me tip?
Do you mean the "Create Tiled Clones" dialog (under Edit->Clone)? Use it with 1 Row and 30 Columns. You can change the spacing on the "Shift Tab". There is a whole chapter on the dialog in my book. See:
