a way to nest objects on art board for sign makers
Idea: Take multiple objects, such as multiple copies of a logo or elements and nesting them within the artboard and a feature to say how much space you want between each object.
Reason: When it comes to signs or sending a print job to a plotter. Sign makers want to maximize the number of objects on a vinyl. Sure we can manually move objects or even use the distribute tool. but this takes to long and sometimes when selecting multiple objects you can not use the distribution tool to distribute both vertical and horizontal at the same time or objects int he middle.
Solution. There are companies out ther with a plug in however they are expensive and only work on windows computer. it would be easier for illustrator to just have the feature built in. to use on all platforms.
