Breaking an Array

If there is an array made for an object how can a single object be used (copied) from that array?

Hi,

The array needs to be non-associative or exploded, then the individual items can be freely copied within the drawing file.

If you want to keep the array associative, have you tried editing the array and then use copyclip while editing and then paste clip after closing the edit session. Arrays are simply a special type of block.

Exploding worked. Thanks!

I will followup with copyclip is disabled but if you want to keep the array, copy the array, set the copied array to 1 row and 1 column and then explode.
