Creating a line of repeats with incremental spacing
You can incrementally change the spacing between objects by entering a value in the Increment
text box of the Advanced Repeats dialog box. The increment is a space value (distance) added to
the previous space value so that the distance between objects increases or decreases
progressively.
In the following examples, the first set of boxes is evenly spaced. In the second set of boxes, each
gap distance increases by 0.250.
To remove the repeats, Smart Edit the repeated objects to open Advanced Repeats and click
Repeat Off.
