Bulk editing spacing between objects

[Jeeves]

I'm trying to bulk reduce different sizes spaces by say 20% whilst keeping the objects the same size.

The spaces will all be of different sizes to begin with so I don't want to distribute objects equally. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks

In Designer you can use Constraints to get the (grouped) layers to move in relation to each other, see attached video and AFDESIGN file. (Only Designer has Constraints.)
However, I don’t think we can specify a percentage spacing difference as the relative distancing between layers is not something the user can manipulate.

1. Fill the spaces with rectangles (shown in green below)

2. Select all the 3 green rectangles then switch on the "Transform Objects Separately" option in the Context Toolbar then in the Transform Panel specify 80% in the width setting

3. Select all objects (green & grey rectangles) and use Alignment options to distribute horizontally with 0px spacing

Cheers everyone. Great workarounds
