spacing between multiple objects.
5. Press Shift and then click the first and second shapes to add them to the
current selection.
You can Shift-click an object to select it in addition to the previously selected object(s),
or Shift-click an already selected object to deselect it without deselecting other objects.
6. Click inside the area of any of the selected shapes. Drag the selected
objects (the three rounded rectangles) so that a small amount of the black
background rectangle is visible above the rounded rectangles, and the left
rounded rectangle is centered on the bleed guide.
Align the center of the
left shape to the bleed
guide and leave a small
amount of space above
the rounded rectangles.
7. Click away from the active objects to deselect them, then click only the
third rounded rectangle. Option/Alt-click and drag right; release the mouse
button when the fourth object is evenly spaced with the first three.
This step re-establishes the cloning movement as the last-applied transformation.
8. With the fourth object still selected, choose Object>Transform Again>
Transform Again.
This command applies the last-used transformation to the selected object. Because you
used the cloning movement in the previous step, the result is a fifth copy that is spaced
at the same distance you moved the copy in Step 7. (The Transform Again command can
be used to re-apply rotation, scaling, sizing, and other transformations.) Note:
You could also choose
Edit>Duplicate, which
makes a copy of the
selected object using the
last-applied movement
distance.
9. Zoom out so you can see the entire width of the document.
