Evenly Space Objects in Vectric - Vectric VCarve, Aspire, & Cut2D Quick Tip

hello everyone in this quick tip we're

going to show you how you can easily

take items like this that are a little

messy on the screen

and make them nice and evenly spaced

like you see below

and this works with 2d vectors as well

as 3d objects so to start we have just a

couple numbers here for an example and

these are just

five different numbers just so you can

see the correct order

so the very first thing we want to do is

start with the first object

so you can place that wherever you like

let's say let's say we put it right

there

and then let's say we want the last

number 10 inches from this number

so what you would do is select the last

number select that first

then hold your shift key and select the

first number

then you can go to your align selected

objects tool

and you want to click this center button

to center it on top of the last selected

object which in this case was the number

one

so now the one and the five are exactly

centered on top of each other

so now we can close this tool

then we can select the number five only

and then go to our move selected objects

and we want to move this 10 inches to

the right

so we want to go in a relative move

and we're going to go in the positive x

direction so we're going to type in 10

inches here

and click apply

okay so now you can see the 1 and the 5

are exactly centered vertically

and they are exactly 10 inches away from

each other center to center

so i'm going to click close

and now is where the magic happens so

all you have to do is select all the

objects in this case is all these

numbers

you want to make sure they're sort of in

this in the correct order you want to

make sure the number two is left of the

number 3 object and the number 4 is

right of the number 3 object

that's going to matter which order these

are

just as you see them here

so we're going to go back to our line

selected objects tool

and at the very bottom here you see we

have a space selection

and we have a horizontal one and a

vertical one

in this case we're going to use the

horizontal one because that's the

direction of our objects so we're going

to click the first one there and now you

can see we have an evenly spaced in

between each other so all the spaces in

between these numbers are exactly the

same now

and now we just need to make them nice

and vertically centered so for that you

just want to click this button up here

to center vertically in the last

selected object

click on that

and now they are all nice straight in a

line

and lastly if you want these numbers to

be nice and centered left to right

inside of the project go up to the top

where it says align to material

and select the horizontal one

that'll make them nice and centered

horizontally if you want them centered

vertically as well

you could have clicked the center in the

entire project or your f9 key on your

keyboard

or you can click this one here just to

center it vertically

and now the numbers are nice and

centered vertically

and as you can see we have another

option down here where it says inside

last vector

so i'm going to show you one more

example

where you can center it inside of a

vector

so let's say we had a rectangle

like this

and click close

then you can select all the numbers

hold your shift key

select the rectangle last

and then go back into the align selected

objects tool

and down at the bottom you want to click

the box to go inside of the last vector

and then we're going to go horizontal

again

and now you can see the spacing has

adjusted to fit inside this box

and now we can click center inside of

the last selected object

but you'll see if you do that they will

all go centered and you don't want that

so we're going to go to edit undo

in order to center those properly

you want to select just the numbers

click the letter g to group those

together

then hold your shift key select the

rectangle

and then click that center button

and now you can see with them being in a

group

they will go nice and centered inside of

that rectangle now we can click close

and you can ungroup those if you want to

by clicking the letter u to ungroup

and now they're all individual numbers

again

and now you can see the spacing has

adjusted to be nice and centered inside

of this box

so not only is it spaced evenly from the

edges all the spaces in between the

numbers are exactly the same

so hopefully that tip helped you out and

if it did let me know below in the
