Distributing Objects

In DEX, "distribution" is a command that allows for the equal spacing of objects along the vertical or horizontal axis. This can be very useful in creating diagrams, charts, graphs, or any design that requires precision and uniformity in the placement of objects.

Remember that distribution usually respects the outermost objects in the selection. For example, if you're distributing objects horizontally, the objects at the far left and right will stay where they are, and the rest will be spaced evenly between them.

Distributing objects can be a huge time-saver and can help ensure precision and consistency in your diagrams or designs. As with all design tools, though, it's important to use it judiciously and in service of your overall design goals.
