Array distance

[Anonymous]

Hi, there.

I am trying to draw a array of squares and would like to add an increment to the spacing between the squares. For example, the distance from the 2nd square to the 1st square would be 2 and then distance from the 3rd to the 2nd square would be 2.5 and so on. Can someone please shed some lights on how this can be done? I am pretty new to AutoCad. 

Thank you very much.

A varied column or row offset is not an array. 

Are you working with a set number of squares?  A set range?  More specifics about what you are trying to do might get you a reasonable solution.

Hi, 

I am trying to draw a set of squares where the distance between the squares increases linearly between each adjacent square.

So, it appears that it is not a straightforward thing to do. Just surprised it wasn't simpler than this to do this.

It may or may not be straightforward, but you didn't answer either of my two questions so I cannot say.  Are we talking about 1-10 squares, 1-100, 10-Infinity?

I am hoping to draw around 1500 10-micron squares in the x direction with increasing spacing, the maximum distance between the first and last square is no bigger than 30mm. 

I am hoping to change the increment in the spacing between the squares thus changing the number of squares I can fit into a 30mm length. 

Thanks.

That would not be straightforward in any way with which I am familiar in dynamic blocks or stock AutoCAD.  I believe a lisp routine could accomplish it fairly easily.  You might inquire on that forum for better results.

Okay, Thanks for the help.
