How to set up automatic margins between shapes rather then rely on grid?

Best answer by Humas1985

Hi ​@azmoving2016 

While the built-in "auto margin" feature in not in place, try to mitigate by evenly spaced shapes with a few simple steps.

By utilizing the platform's arrangement tools, you can ensure consistent spacing between multiple shapes. You can select all the relevant shapes, navigate to the Arrange menu, and choose "Distribute Objects." Then, select either "Horizontally" or "Vertically" to automatically adjust the shape positions and achieve equal spacing, regardless of the grid settings
