More/Less
Turns the display of additional options in the Array dialog box on and off.
When you choose More, additional options are displayed, and the name of
this button changes to Less.
Object Base Point
Specifies a new reference (base) point relative to the selected objects that will
remain at a constant distance from the center point of the array as the objects
are arrayed. To construct a polar array, ARRAY determines the distance from
the array’s center point to a reference (base) point on the last object selected.
The point used depends on the type of object, as shown in the following table.
Base point settings by object
Default base point Object type
Center point Arc, circle, ellipse
First corner Polygon, rectangle
Starting point Donut, line, polyline, 3D polyline, ray, spline
Insertion point Block, paragraph text, single-line text
Midpoint Construction lines
Grip point Region
Set to Object’s Default
Uses the default base point of the object to position the arrayed object. To
manually set the base point, clear this option.
Base Point
Sets a new X and Y base point coordinate. Choose Pick Base Point to
temporarily close the dialog box and specify a point. After you specify a
point, the Array dialog box is redisplayed.
NOTE To avoid unexpected results, set the base point manually if you are
constructing a polar array and do not want to rotate the objects.
Select Objects
Specifies the objects used to construct the array. You can select objects before
or after the Array dialog box is displayed. To select objects when the Array
dialog box is displayed, choose Select Objects. The dialog box temporarily
closes. When you finish selecting objects, press ENTER . The Array dialog box
