To Create Arrays

Use this procedure to create an array of identical linework (such as hatches and polylines), architectural objects (such as doors and walls), AEC polygons, or profile-based objects (such as mass element extrusions, and spaces). You can also array any block-based content (including detail components) made up of these types of linework and objects.

1. Select the linework, object, or block to array.
2. Click Home tabModify panelArrays drop-downAEC Array.
3. Select an edge and drag the cursor to specify the direction of the array for a rectangular array.

   The number of objects you are adding to the array is displayed in the tooltip as Array Count.

4. Enter a value for the distance offset between each instance of the linework or object, and press Enter.

   Alternately, for a polar array, specify two points to establish the angle of the array, enter a value for the distance offset between the linework or object, and press Enter.

5. Click in the drawing area to specify the endpoint of the array.
