Tip: Moving/copying objects along the horizontal or vertical

Ah, I understand. I was a little bit confused because of the "with No Blending...???". The result looks not like a blend, because the form doesn't change, but it is a blend.

You would copy the Object, and do a Special Paste, telling How many, at what Intervals to place...

It depends on the drawing - as always. The Blend Tool is a good solution for things like in the images posted above. If I need equal spacing between different objects, the alignment dialog (CTRL+Shift+L) with the option "Distribute equi-spaced" is my preferred time saver.

Remi - Didn't mean to 'irritate' -would never intentionally do here! Just was looking at another Use for the Tool... (is there something like what I described, that I am missing? -sometimes the obvious gets by me <sigh>)

Oh, sorry - a great misunderstanding. I used the wrong vocabulary! I meant not annoyed, I meant "confused". I use often the german word "irritiert" (engl. "confused") as a synoym for "verwirrt" (engl. "perplexed"). That's the problem with my bad english. Sorry about the confusion.
