polar array

philobatir2017 — Thu, 04 May 2023 15:00:43 GMT

why when I use a polar array the items merge?
I created a circle with a straight line
then used a polar array
when I exited the polar array and clicked on one circle to modify the whole drawing was considered to be one item
not 4 circles and 4 straight lines.

Hi @philobatir2017 ,

AutoCAD creates associated arrays by default when you use ARRAY command.

You can learn more about editing such arrays here:

https://help.autodesk.com/view/ACDMAC/2023/ENU/?guid=GUID-8F59E51C-8E9D-4B24-BCD4-CA6C7726BE0D

You can create non-associative arrays with ARRAYCLASSIC command or by changing ASsociative option to No when you create an array.

You can also EXPLODE associative array after you create it, then you will be able to edit individual objects separately.
