   So you are trying to distribute copies in between the first and last of the array? Try using /5 (that's forward slash-5) instead of L5. By default L is the keyboard shortcut for the Line tool so typing L will call that tool.

   Remember to click at the end of the move operation to drop the copy. Then enter the desired move distance if needed and then type /5 and hit Enter.

   move/copy problem

   Dave; Thanks for the ideas.  I have tried both forms, L5 or 5L, niether 1 works.  the tool switches to the line tool as soon as I hit an L.  I was using this tool on a drawing and it became unstable; would work sometimes and then it wouldn't work.  Now it won't work at all.  I think I inadvertently have screwed up my tool bar or settings somehow.  I am at a loss!

   Thanks for the help.                                   ................Wayne

   Evidently you didn't read

   Evidently I wasn't clear enough. L is NOT the right key to use. You are seeing exactly what I said you would see. L is the keyboard shortcut for the Line tool. You need to be hitting the forward slash key instead. 

   What you are trying to do has never worked with the L key.

   L key vs / key

   Dave; Thank you so much.  My only excuse is that I am 71 years old and I had major brain fad!  WHY I continued to use L is beyond me.  But I did do what you said I all is OK.  I was wrapped so tight around the axle the las 8 hrs. that I couldn't see what I was really doing.

   Again Thanks                                ...........................Wayne
