select your cube.
activate the Dup tool.
select duplicate with numerical values, and configure as follow:

the result should be:

But the faces are not oriented toward the centre...

Along a line is working in the same way... the selected mesh is duplicated along the x axis.

So there is no way to orient the face's cube to the center ?

Have you try the line one something strange is happening.

by hand...

Is it not because you ask for a big number of duplicated on a small distance?
