Following-up this answer, I would like to:

1- specify the length over which the dots are spread

2- and center them in addition to controlling both the left and right margin skips.

\documentclass{exam}

\makeatletter
\newcount\my@repeat@count
\newcommand{\myrepeat}[2]{%
  \begingroup
  \my@repeat@count=\z@
  \@whilenum\my@repeat@count<#1\do{#2\advance\my@repeat@count\@ne}%
  \endgroup
}
\makeatother

\newcount\myloopcounter

\newcommand{\repeatit}[2][10]{%
  \myloopcounter0% initialize the loop counter
  \loop\ifnum\myloopcounter < #1 % Test if the loop counter is < #1
  #2%
  \advance\myloopcounter by 1 % 
  \repeat % start again
}

\usepackage{mdframed}
\newenvironment{mymdf}
  {\mdfsetup{
    innertopmargin=15pt   
    }
  \begin{mdframed}%
  }  
  {\end{mdframed}}

\end{mymdf}

I think the \centering and the \vspace commands helps you. I hope I understand you right.

  \endgroup
}

\newcount\myloopcounter

\newcommand{\repeatit}[2][10]{%
  \myloopcounter0% initialize the loop counter
  \loop\ifnum\myloopcounter < #1 % Test if the loop counter is < #1

  \advance\myloopcounter by 1 % 
  \repeat % start again

  • Thanks for your answer. You are near to what I mean; in order to understand what I want, you can replace the number of dots in the second question with 200, then you will find them overflow out of the box right border. So, what I need is, regardless of the number of the dots, I need them to be equally spaced over the box width minus the margin skip.
