Array Path

Anonymous — Sun, 08 Nov 2015 23:22:54 GMT

Hello,

When I try to use "Arraypath" I select my objects to array, my path, but when the "options" bar comes up, I'm unable to change the quantity.

How do I change the quantity of objects to be arrayed?

I should mention... I am using AutoCAD 13 on a MAC, so not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Hi and welcome,

i'll give you the answer as used in AutoCAD :

- if your RIBBON not appeared up there (top of screen).

- type ribbon in your cammand line.

- i suppose yor RIBBON will appear.

- select your arrayed object.

- when you select it you will notice that your ARRAY button tab at ribbon will have green light (see attached).

- click on it and there all of your needs will appear.

using 2015 version Items is an option in that list

from help

Items

Depending on the Method setting, specifies the number of items or the distance between items.

Number of items along path (Available when Method equals Divide) Using a value or expression, specifies how many items are in the array. Distance between items along path (Available when Method equals Measure) Using a value or expression, specifies the distance between arrayed items.

By default, the array is populated with the maximum number of items that fill the path using the distance entered. You can specify a smaller number of items if desired. You can also turn on Fill Entire Path so that the number of items is adjusted if the length of the path changes.

The Array ribbon appears with the distance beetween objects as the default process for path-style arrays. To switch to number of items simply click the Items button that is to left of the items field and the field will activate. You will need to adjust distance between throughout the process but as long as the distance and item count are equal or less than the path selected, it will work out.
