Hello Charles
Thanks for posting in the Community! If you want to have the same amount of space between your shapes I would recommend highlighting the group clicking "arrange" then clicking "distribute objects" and "horizontally". It will then make sure that there is the same amount of space between each shape. I have attached screenshots for reference (a before and after pic). Please let me know if you need more help with this or if this wasn't what you were referring to!

+1Is there a way to do this with an organogram? I have tried to do it but the option is greyed out for me on my board?
+9Hi
I would recommend referring to the above post for updates!
When spacing the objects by moving them around, it’s easy to get them lined up and distributed evenly. But what if you want them to be an exact spacing? For example, if you want them to be spaced evenly at 200px apart. Even with just two boxes, it’s difficult to drag them to an exact location, even though the pixels and even coordinates show on the screen when you move the objects. Is there a way to do that aside from dragging the objects?
For example: I’d like these two process boxes to be exactly 132px apart.
