Array Feature

Used to construct an array of a parametric feature. Arrays can be either rectangular or polar (circular).

You can access this tool from the following:
  • Ribbon: Modeling > Solids > Modify Features
  • Toolbox: Modify Features
SettingDescription
Array Type Sets the type of array.
  • Rectangular — Creates a rectangular array.
  • Polar — Creates a polar (circular) array.
Array About Sets the coordinate system about which the array is generated.
  • Feature — The features axes.
  • Design X — The active DGN file X axis.
  • Design Y — The active DGN file Y axis.
  • Design Z — The active DGN file Z axis.
  • View X — The Active view X axis.
  • View Y — The Active view Y axis.
  • View Z — The Active view Z axis.
  • Accudraw/ACS X — The active Auxiliary Coordinate System X axis. Disabled if no ACS present.
  • Accudraw/ACS Y — The active Auxiliary Coordinate System Y axis. Disabled if no ACS present.
  • Accudraw/ACS Z — The active Auxiliary Coordinate System Z axis. Disabled if no ACS present.
Angle (Rectangular array) If on, sets the angle (positive or negative) of the array relative to the x-axis of the selected coordinate system.
Rows (Rectangular array) Sets the number or rows.
Columns (Rectangular array) Sets the number of columns.
Row Spacing (Rectangular array) Sets the distance between the rows (can be positive or negative).
Column Spacing (Rectangular array) Sets the distance between the columns (can be positive or negative).
Items (Polar array) Sets the number of items that will form the array.
Delta Angle (Polar array) Sets the angle between arrayed items.
Total Angle (Polar array) Sets the total angle by the polar array set.
