Spacing Out Blocks - MEP

[Greg.Kennard]

Hey guys,

I am looking to evenly distribute some already inserted blocks evenly in a space. I have tried the LINEWORKSPACEEVENLY command, but it places some of my blocks off grid which at that point it is almost quicker to move the blocks manually. I searched previous post and didn't find anything on this, any one have any thoughts?

Thanks,
Greg Kennard

Are these horizontal/vertical distributions? If so I would go with the Array command. Or are the blocks of different geometry?

The array command is probably what you want but you can also use the DIVIDE command if you want X number of blocks along an object (pline, circle, arc, spline, etc.). The REVERSE command can reverse the line direction if the blocks are upside down.

Draw a line or pline, start the DIVIDE command, choose the pline, type B for Block option, type name of Block, Y or N for aligned with pline, enter how many you want.

While ARRAY and DIVIDE are handy commands,, neither will do anything with the "already inserted blocks" the OP had. To do that he'll need to write a LISP command. Unless there's one floating around that can grab and align arbitrary entities...

Here is one by Lee-Mac that works.
