If you need this sort of grid regularly, you might be interested in this application if you are using Windows 10:

It wasn’t created specifically for this sort of thing but it might be worth a try.

I like the idea of having such a feature and find the name would suit the purpose perfectly. I'd love for the user to be able to define amount and spacing horizontally and/or vertically. An addition cool feature would be if you could replicate an object along a path 😉

Thanks dReas,

It would be a cool feature - did not think about replication along a path - that would be so useful too!

Hello  Walt,

Thank you  so much for your response. 

I am going to find this a very helpful work-around - thank you.

In case you haven't discovered Power Duplication, you could:

1. Create your first dot.
2. With the dot from 1 selected, Ctrl+J to duplicate it.
3. With the dot from 2 selected, use the transform panel, move it .25 inches to the right.
4. With that dot still selected, Ctrl+J 28 more times. You now have one line of dots.
5. Select them all.
6. Ctrl+J to duplicate them all.
7. With them still selected, use the transform panel to move them all down .25 inches.
8. With them still selected, Ctrl+J 43 more times. You now have your array of dots.

 

[Stamp Tool?]

Would it be possible to have a stamp tool i.e. be able to stamp an object any where on the canvas/artboard randomly and as many times as required ((like the stamp tool in Serif Craft Artist 2)?

Thanks,

Dee.

Is it  possible to have  replication tool for replicating 10s of the same  object at once, i.e., fields for x  amount of columns  and x amount of rows with x amount of spacing?

For example,  if I wanted to  create  an  A5 dot grid  page with (with 0.025 inch size dots) at 30 columns wide, 45 rows long , at 0.25 inches apart x and y (something like the replicate tool in Serif Craft Artist 2)). 

To do this with the current duplication functions would take forever and to an extent would be a manual process. (Unless there is already something like this in Affinity and I just haven't found it).

Thanks,

Dee.
