Object repeat: whole objects only
When I use object repeat, I want the option for the boundary box to hold only full objects.
The attached image is a repeat of the two top left most circles. I want to create a pattern of these, but only have full circles.
To create the image with full circles only, I needed to create two entire rows of circles and to repeat them.

All the repeats, grid, mirror, and radial do not work well for me. It lacks the option to snap the width and/or height to the last item in the row and/or column.
I want to place 20 x 24 items in a grid. This grid should be placed in the center of another item.... This just does not work, due to the fact that you can't set the width precisely to the last item.
Also the smart guides detect only the grid item but not the items within.So far the repeat functions does not make sense for me.
