Hi,

can you please upload the dwg-file + the info which product and version you are using (command _ABOUT => screenshot).

Please see files attached,

It seems like I can only do array if path is not a loop or alignment option is disabled, however neither are accepted solutions but close to what is expected.....

Thanks

Hi,

the _ABOUT screenshot shows you have not updated your AutoCAD, instead of 2020 it should show "2020.1.2" ... please update this while I look to your dwg-file.

Hi,

well, I get the same result as you get, however it's easy to solve.

Start command _ARRAYPATH, then select the circle as object to distribute + <ENTER>, then select the polyline as path.
Now select option _BASE point and pick the center of the circle

... better?

Alfred,

Thank you for prompt response,

1. I have Updated the app.

2. I have followed your instructions, however spacing is not the same.... Please see image attached

I was able to do this previously as well

Hi,

>> however spacing is not the same

The spacing is the same, just at the end of the polyline there is not place enough for twice the distance.

If you want to have the circles not distributed by a fixed distance along the path, but instead dividing the path into equal segments, then change the option to "Divide" and control the number of elements instead.
