Array

The selected object or objects are copied with the Array command in the specified number of x and y intervals . There are two methods of object duplication. In the first, X and Y intervals are entered for the distance between two objects. Secondly, the number of objects is entered, the X and Y intervals are divided by the number of objects. Entities fit within the entered range.

Location of the Array Command

Array command can be run from the toolbar on the left side of the program.

If the option on the left is selected, the distance between the two objects is equal to the entered X and Y range.

If the right option is selected, the X and Y ranges are divided by the number of objects. The distance between two objects is this value. In other words, the number of objects as many as the number of objects entered is fit within the entered range.
