and also to add extra columns or rows, or change the axis angle.

      C. The

allows you to change the total row and column spacing simultaneously, and also to add extra columns and rows simultaneously.

      POLAR ARRAY

      This method allows you to make multiple copies in a circular pattern. You specify the total number of copies to fill a specific Angle or specify the angle between each copy and angle to fill.

      To use the polar array command you select the object(s) to array, specify the center of the array, specify the number of copies or the angle between the copies, the angle to fill and if you would like the copies to rotate as they are copied.

       Example of a Polar Array

      Note: The two examples shown above use the objects default base point.

      The examples below display what happens if you specify a basepoint.

      How to create a POLAR ARRAY

       Using “Number of Items.”

      1. Draw a 3” Radius circle.

      2. Add a .50 Radius 3 sided Polygon and place as shown.

      3. Select the ARRAY command using one of the following:

      4. Select Polar Array.

      5. Select Objects: Select the Object to be Arrayed. (Polygon)

      6. Select Objects: Select more objects or <enter> to stop

      7. Specify center point of array or [Base point / Axis of Rotation] Select the Center Point of the Circle

      The Array Creation tab appears and the array defaults to 6 items.

      8. Enter Items: 12

      9. Enter Fill: 360

      10. Press <enter> to display the selections

      11. Select Close Array if display is correct

       Note:

       12 items were evenly distributed within 360 degrees
