Calculating and dividing the equal amount of elements in Autocad

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone! 

Recently, when I was preparing a technical drawing for solar power plant, I faced this problem. The layout consist of more than 100 000 solar panels which should be divided in a group of 600 each in order to allocate the inverter blocks. How can I divide the 100 000 solar panels into groups of 600 each? Is there a quick way of dividing into groups of numbers of items drawn?

@Anonymous ,

Consider using the Rectangular Array command and the options on the ribbon.

What wide -to  high  ratio to divide 

Maybe it is better to array by rectangle the 600 from the first panel , and then a new array from the 600 to get the 100000 or more . 

Please upload your sample dwg

Here is the sample of array I need to divide. For the purpose of the layout I would like not to use the rectangular array because of its limited interaction and amendments option.

Draw a constraints area of 600 panels and drag it around to match your layout?

@Anonymous Hi I made a test , guessing that panel where draw in a certain order, an it s so , but the are duplicated panels , they follow a certain order from down to up columns in left   to right  column. 

I put the handle number in decimal format as to get an idea about how to gather the 600 panel . 

Find attached dwg 

Seem to be panel where array in four row , and some columns .

The first column is duplicated in each array  .

So it need to remove duplicated panels.

I do not remember the command to remove duplicated .
