Hi Matadem, if your objects are regularly spaced like that you can use Transform > Array to do it.

Step 1 - use Transform > Copy to copy circle onto lower left element.

Step 2 - Use Transform > Array to make new pattern over top of old one.

Step 3 - Cleanup to Remove old objects - select newly created objects, invert and delete.

Looks like this:

Or to simplify cleanup you can draw in a rectangle for the cell size like this, then you can delete all the old shapes, move the new shape onto the lower left corner of that cell and use the lower left to upper right corners for the array spacing. Then you'll only have that one spacer rectangle to remove for cleanup.

Hi Matadem, can you please post an example that more closely matches your actual case?

You could use BoundingBoxCenterIndividual from here to place a point at each selected object's center:

Then CopyToPoints:
