102 Object Handling

In the above image, all objects are aligned to each other in either one or two axis.
However, if one of the selected objects are not aligned within one of these axis, then you
will not see the Smart Duplication handles.

The object spacing handle controls the space between each of the selected objects.
Click and drag to increase or decrease the space. Click, hold shift and drag to increase

the objects your selection. If it's not possible, Xara Web Designer Premium will not show
the handles.
