Align objects side by side with fixed spacing
Hi everyone,
I have e.g. 100 objects of the varying size. How can I get them all next to each other, with equal gaps? (For example, no gap.)
I've found one way to sort of attain this this result: start with them all further apart than needed, then iteratively scale each object ob by a small amount and "make horizontal/vertical gaps between objects equal" - until the desired gap is needed.
But of course that's very slow. Does anyone know a proper/easier way to do this?
Best, Christoph
Hi Christoph,
there's a dialog that allows for a grid-like arrangement like that:
Object -> Arrange / Objekt -> Anordnen
(see also: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL_v14/html/Align.html, section 'Rows and Columns' - was renamed).
Kind Regards, Maren

D'oh! Object->Arrange is what I was looking for. Sorry for the noise, everyone! (In that dialogue, decrease number of rows/columns to 1, uncheck equal height/width, and set the X/Y spacing.)
