Hi Tim,

I would realize this topic
http://forum.punchcad.co...sts&t=8417#post32141
in ViaCAD 10 but the program doesn't offer this option.

On this way I tried out some possibilities with the Align-command and found out that the two last options -Spaced Vertical and Spaced Horizontal - of the pull down menue do not work. Clicking on the both options they jump back to the first option - Left Sides - .

The two options are not available or is it a bug?

VCP 10 Build 1330 Win 7 Pro

Best Regards

The two spaced align command will only work with more than two objects. They basically equalise the distance between objects.

I'm having the same problem with spacing. I have 6 objects selected that I want to vertically space and the the menu selection defaults to align left no matter what I try. I've tried it with different objects with 3 or more items with the same results. I can manually space equally using grids, but it would be a time saver to be able to use the tool command. All other align commands work except the vertical and horizontal space. I'm using ViaCad 2d/3d v10 Mac build 1354 if that helps. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

It often happens when objects are a copy or instance of another object. Try breaking the link(select all objects and Edit-->Remove Links). Often it helps. But you will lose the inheritance properties of the object.

Hello Jeff

What are the objects you are trying, groups, 2d, 3d , circles, etc.
I see the spaced vertical and spaced horizontal are not behaving as expected here either.
