ARRAY

• This function copies (arrays) a selected object multiple times according to a set pattern.

1. How to Use Array

1) Type “ARRAY” in the Command Input Window.
2) Select the objects to array and press the Enter key.
3) Select the array type in the Command Input Window.

• Rectangular (rectangular array)
• Path (path array)
• Polar (polar array)

2. How to Use Rectangular Array Demo Video

1) Select the “Rectangular” option in the Command Input Window.
2) Select the objects to array and press the ENTER key.
3) Set the required options in the Command Input Window or dialog box.

Option	Description
Associative	Sets whether to keep the array as a single group. - ON: Keeps the arrayed objects as a single associative array (default) - OFF: Creates them as separate individual objects
Base point	Specifies the base point of the array. Objects are duplicated in rows and columns around this point.
COunt	Specifies the total number of copies. (You can specify the total count directly instead of columns × rows × levels.)
Spacing	Specifies the spacing between copies. You can manually enter the horizontal and vertical distance between each object.
COLumns	Sets the number of columns (horizontal direction).
Rows	Sets the number of rows (vertical direction).
Levels	Adds levels in the Z-axis (height) direction. (Used in 3D models.)
eXit	Completes the array settings and ends the command.

4) The array is created based on the selected object.

3. How to Use Path Array Demo Video

1) Select the “Path” option in the Command Input Window.
2) Select the objects to array and press the ENTER key.
3) Select the path to array along.
4) Set the required options in the Command Input Window or dialog box.

Option	Description
Associative	Sets whether to keep the array as a single group. - ON: Keeps the arrayed objects as a single associative array (default) - OFF: Creates them as separate individual objects
Method	Selects the array method. - Divide: Arrays based on the number of items - Measure: Arrays based on spacing
Base point	Specifies the base point to use when duplicating.
Tangent direction	Sets whether to align the orientation of the arrayed objects to the tangent direction of the path.
Items	Enter the number of objects to array.
Rows	Specifies the number of rows when arraying in multiple rows. (Default: 1)
Levels	Arrays objects across multiple levels in the Z-axis direction. (For 3D work.)
Align items	Sets whether to align objects to the path direction. - ON: Automatically rotates to match the path direction - OFF: Keeps the original angle
Z direction	Turns Z-axis alignment on or off. Used to control object orientation on 3D paths.
eXit	Completes the array settings and ends the command.

5) The array is created along the specified path.

4. How to Use Polar Array Demo Video

1) Select the “Polar” option in the Command Input Window.
2) Select the objects to array and press the ENTER key.
3) Select the center point of the polar array and press the ENTER key.
4) Set the required options in the Command Input Window or dialog box.

Option	Description
Associative	Sets whether to keep the array as a single group. - ON: Keeps the arrayed objects as a single associative array (default) - OFF: Creates them as separate individual objects
Base point	Lets you reposition the base point of the array. The default is the center of the selected object.
Items	Enter the number of objects to array.
Angle between	Specifies the angle (°) between each object.
Fill angle	Specifies the total angle (°) to fill. The default is 360°. (e.g., 180° → creates a semicircular array)
Rows	Used to create a multi-tier (nested circular) array. (Default: 1)
Levels	Arrays objects across multiple levels in the Z-axis direction. (For 3D work.)
Rotate items	Specifies whether each object rotates to face the center. - ON: Objects rotate relative to the center (default) - OFF: Objects keep their original orientation
eXit	Completes the array settings and ends the command.

5) The array is created around the specified center point.
