Creating Patterns of Duplicate Entities
|
275
Precision is not substituted for simplicity. When using Symbol Array,
controls on the edit bar allow you to:
■
Specify the array pattern. You can arrange symbols along any of the
following entities—a line defined by two points, an arc defined by an
angle and two points, a circle defined by two points, or a rectangle defined
by two corners.
■
Select the symbol type. The drop-down list names all the symbols in the
currently selected Symbol Library. You can also select a symbol from the
Content Librarian.
■
Enter the scale value. When the Scaling Factor check box on the edit bar
is checked, symbols are scaled proportionately. When it is unchecked, you
must enter separate height and width scaling factors.
■
Select the gap between symbols. No Gaps means that as the extent of the
symbol is reached, AutoSketch places another instance of the symbol.
Middle Gaps means that symbols are spaced evenly along the length of
the entity with symbols at the startpoint and endpoint. All Gaps means
that symbols are spaced evenly along the length of the entity with gaps at
the startpoint and endpoint.
■
Enter vertical and horizontal spacing of symbols. The entered values are
the increments of length that must be drawn before AutoSketch inserts
each instance of the symbol.
Similarly, Rubber Stamp Array edit bar controls also let you define the pattern
of selected entities.
To arrange symbols along an array
1 On the Draw menu, click Symbol, Array, or click the Symbol Array button
on the All-In-One toolbar. The pointer changes to a drawing tool and
controls appear on the edit bar.
2 From the Current Symbol drop-down list on the edit bar, select the symbol
you want to duplicate.
OR
Click a symbol on the current Symbol page of the Content Librarian.
3 On the Entity Type drop-down menu, click Line Single, 2 Points and Angle
Arc, Center, Side Circle, or Rectangle.
