I have zero knowledge of Java. I'm trying to align hundreds copies of a same icon to hundreds of numbers using "Align to key object",  "Horizontal align center" and "Vertical distribute space" in align window. but it takes ages and is very time consuming. Your help will be greatly appreciate.

I finally solved the issue. Created a symbol from the icon. Duplicated all the numbers, converted them to individual symbols using @CarlosCanto 's script: Creating Multiple Symbols

Finally replaced them all with the made icon. Happy life!

The number position has to stay the same?

Are there other elements on the artboard (or off the artboard for that matter), or just the numbers?

Hi Met1

Yes the numbers must stay fixed.

Yes there are a lot of other texts other than these icons and number.
