Imagine a simple engineering drawing, with a terminal pin drawn as a square, 
with a number in it.

Now remember that typically you may want to make 60 of those, sequentially 
numbered, evenly spaced on the drawing.

I'd like to suggest a replicate tool, similar to the 'duplicate' tool in Serif 
Drawplus, but with auto-incrementing numbers if required.  This would be a fine 
bit of product differentiation.

1.  Replicate selected item into grid, with spefified number of rows and 
    columns, and specified x and y spacing.

2.  Replicate ditto, but auto-increment numbering.
    A separate increment range for x and y might be useful, to create
    things like

A1  A2  A3
B1  B2  B3

    but it should also be possible to do things like:
1     2     3
4     5     6

    or

1   4   7
2   5   8
3   6   9


3.   Replicate over other co-ordinate systems, e.g isometric, radial, along a 
curved path.
