•
Space from End, Specify Number—Distributes
the number of objects you specify toward the
start of a spline or a pair of points, st arting
at the end. The Spacing tool determines the
amount of space between objects based on the
number of objects and the length of the spline

software locks the end offset so that it’s the
same as the spacing.
•
Space from End, Specify Spacing—Distributes as
many equally spaced objects as possible toward
the star t of a spline or a pair of points, start ing
at the end. You specify the spacing between
objects. Thesoftwarelockstheendoffsetso

•
Space from Sta r t, Unbounded—Distributes the
number of objects you specify along a straight
line toward the end of a spline or a pair of
points, start ing at the start. You specify the
spacing between objects. The s oftware locks the

Specify Spacing, Mat chin g Offsets—Distributes
as many evenly spaced objects as possible a long

1. Edge-to-edge spacing
2. Center-to-center spacing
Edges—Usethistospecifythatspacingis
determined f rom the facing edges of each object’s
bounding box.
Centers—Use this to specify that spacing be
determined from the center of each object’s
bounding box.
