Using Arrays of Elements
The Array tool creates a linear or radial array of selected elements. For example, you can select a door and
a window residing on a wall and create multiple instances of the door-window configuration.
Use the Array tool to create several instances of one or more elements and manipulate them simultaneously.
Array members can belong to a group; therefore, you can add or remove items from the group. For example,
you can create an array of 7 walls. When you group a desk with one of the walls, all walls in the array get a
desk. For more information about grouping, see
Editing Elements in Groups on page 354.
NOTE Arrays are not supported for most annotation symbols.
An array of windows and columns
Creating an Array
The elements of an array can follow a line (a linear array), or they can follow an arc (a radial array). When
creating an array, you specify the distance between elements using either of the following methods:
■ Specify the distance between the first and second elements. (Use the Move To 2nd option.) All subsequent
elements use the same spacing.
■ Specify the distance between the first and last elements. (Use the Move To Last option.) All remaining
elements are evenly spaced between them.
