Multiple parallel with one click?

Multiple parallel with one click?

Multiple parallel with one click?

(OP)
There is a series of 40 rectangles that need to be lined up for my product on one plane all parallel and evenly spaced.

Which command allows us to connect and select all 40 rectangles to be lined up, parallel them and design an evenly spaced series by one command?

Every piece is the same.

Everything so far I've been doing individually.


RE: Multiple parallel with one click?

Check out the sketch pattern option (or, favorable, the linear pattern feature).

I would also use linear pattern. Otherwise, you would have to manually select each line and make them collinear.

Also see the Pattern Features example in the Online Tutorials section.

If you have SW2006, the new Fill Pattern may also be useful.
