I
downloaded the Shaping plug-in videos, it seems really amazing. But, please let
me put some manual methods I use, maybe someone finds something useful in it.
Even if they are not the answers BDD looking for.
CASE A
If it is
just one label and its duplicates, you can use the 'Transformations'
Docker;
- Before making any duplicates,
select the label
- Open the 'Transformations'
Docker
- Click the 'Position'
tab
- Check the 'Relative
Position' option
- Check a direction box
- In the 'H:' or 'V:'
boxes, add your "certain amount" of spacing to the
already appeared number there (ignore the minus sign if it's there)
- Click 'Apply To Duplicates',
repeat… (then you can select many to duplicate more than one per click)
CASE B
If you
have deferent labels but same size, or as in CASE A, but after
duplicating;
- Draw a rectangle (or any
object)
- Using the 'Property Bar',
Make its width =
((Label Width + Spacing) * Number
of Labels) – Spacing
Insert these
numbers with parenthesis and Corel will calculates
- Align the first label to the
left of that rectangle, and the last to the right
- Throw the rest in between
- Distribute spacing
horizontally
NOTES
I. Consider using 'Ctrl
+ D'
II. Consider using the 'Nudge
Offset' and the keyboard arrows
III.
Consider using 'Symbols' or 'Clones' to
easily edit your duplicates and save memory
