I even tried upgrading to Visio 2010 thinking something was wrong with my install, but I get the same result. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. I'm simply creating a new doc, dragging out a server, clicking Ctl-D several times, selecting the group by dragging an outline around all servers with my mouse, Select spacing options and changing to a larger value / OK, but nothing changes.

However, when I do this my servers end up bunched together or not evenly spaced. Is there a way to space them exactly the same? I've searched and tried different things to no avail. Thanks!
