It seems you want to add 2mm of space between the objects?
One commercial macro dizzy shaping 3 has the ability to do that for you. Check dist spacing video.
There are other ways, but more tedious.
If you want to distribute, there is arrange > align and distribute function, which will distribute the space between objects evenly.
The inbuilt distribute function can distribute space either horizontally or vertically. To use it, you must first select some objects (at least three, to be useful).
I'm not sure about X5, but in X6 you have some additional options, to distribute the edges or centres of objects rather than the space between them.
Its not a good way to put a specific space between objects. For that you need to use a macro like the one Jeff suggests.
Or, as a possible way to do it manually, you can :
Hi.
Also GDG Space Master is good for this. I currently have an X5 version and hope to make an X6 version soon.

ok guys...thanks for tips.
But it does feel strange to me why is there no such function? sometimes you need some objects to be evenly distributed over page...? Well, I just start with guidelines then...
bye

Well you can hold shift and use your alignment keyboard shortcuts, ie Shift + E but this spaces by center.
The macros suggested above really work better.
