There is not currently any command for equalizing the spacing between already existing objects, so you will need to do that manually.

Depending on what you're dealing with there are various ways you could go about it - one possibility would be to array a placeholder shape like a circle to get the circles arranged how you want, and then move each shape to the center of its matching circle.

There are also different possible ways to actually define what the "amount of space" between objects actually is. If you mean equal space between their bounding boxes, then to do that you might want to use the BoundingBox command to create the box around each object, then draw a line and copy that line and in the top view snap the line on to each box edge so that you have the kind of spacing you want.

To run BoundingBox you need to set it up on a keyboard shortcut:
