Add Spacing To Snap Properties

[kwkirkman]

I do a lot of paver installations and often like to do the layout in cad. I create polyline solids with the dimensions of the pavers and create cad blocks that have the ratio of sizes in the pallet. 

 

Is it possible to adjust snap properties so that the objects will snap together with desired spacing?

It sounds like a job for multiple copy.

Are you really creating a Cad Block from a Polyline Solid -which I don't think can be done?

You say you are doing the layout in cad which suggests that you are crating a cad block from cad objects.

 

You can change the insertion point of a cad block by using Select Insertion Point (on the Edit toolbar). 

You can then snap to a reference point (temporary point or object) outside of the cad block which will give you your offset or spacing.

 

Maybe post an example of the object and geometry for a better answer.
