Plug-ins:Array

Use the "Convert to Array" menu command to create a repeating sequence of your selection. Arrays can repeat into 3 dimensions.

Repeated elements still remain in the original container and can be edited directly.

Defining a linear array size

When creating an array, you specify the distance between elements using either one of the following configurations:

• By distribution: The number of elements are evenly distributed within the frame.
• By distance: Specify the distance between elements. The frame is then sized based onthe element distance and number of iterations.

Copying

You can copy all elements in an array or just part of the array. You can also copy the array itself.

Base member(s)

When first initializing the array, the selection is copied into the profile group. These elements will act as basemembers.

Whenever the array adds additional objects into the drawing, a fresh copy of the basemember is used. You can edit the basemember only in editing mode of the profile group. You can also click the "Manage" button to reach there.

Any other modification on the members of the array are individual edits and do not update the other elements.

Adding/removing elements

You can delete members of an array by clicking the corresponding control point. Each element has it's own control point used to show/hide the element.

Use the button "Reset exceptions" to reset the visibility for all elements to the default.

Member control

The array only controls the position of elements. You still have full control of the individual elements.
