4.  Click the second shape, press Option/Alt, and drag right. Release the mouse
                   button when you see opposing arrows below/between the first and second
                   pair, and the second and third pair of shapes.

                                                                                            Note:
                                                                                            Smart Guides also

                                                                                            when you create a new

                                            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.
