Creating an Array of Guide Lines

IWBNI it were possible to copy a given guide line to an array of equally spaced guide lines.

This could be implemented by adding a menu item called Copy Guide to the context menu that is displayed for a guide line when the triangle for the guide that is located in the ruler is right clicked. The menu item would display a new dialog box called Copy Guide that could contain the following controls:

----------------------------------
Copy Guide Dialog Box

Number of Copies: _____
Distance: _____ |Units List Box|
----------------------------------

For example, with Number of Copies set to 6 and Distance set to 1 space, 6 new guide lines would be created next to the selected guide line to form an array of 7 guide lines that are 1 space apart.
