transform settings, so the group title changes
depending on the transform settings.
Click the left or right arrow button for Move,
Rotate, or Scale to indicate whether you want to set
Incremental or Total array p arameters.
Incremental
Move—Specifies the distance b etween each arrayed
object along the X, Y, and Z axes, in units.
Rotate—Specifies the degree of rotation about any
of the three axes for each object in the array, in
degrees.
Scale—Specifies the percentage of scale along any
of the three axes for each object in the array, in
percentages.
Totals
Move—Specifies the overall distance, along each of
the three axes, between the pivot points of the two
outer objects in the resulting array. For example, if
you’re arr ay ing 6 objects and set Move X total to
100, the six objects will be ar r ayed in a row that’s
100 units between the pivot points of the two outer
objects in the row.
Rotate—Specif ies the total degrees of rotation
applied to the objects along each of the three axes.

that totals 360 deg rees.
Re-Orient—Rotates the generated objects about
their local axes while rotating them about the
world co ordinates. When clear, the objects
maintain their orig inal orientat ion.
Scale—Specifies the total scale of the objects along
each of the three axes.
Unifor m—Disables the Y and Z spinners and
applies the X value to all axes, resulting in a
uniform scale.
Type of Object group
Determine the type of copies made by the Array
function. The default is Copy.
Co py—Arrays copies of the selected object to the
specified position.
Instance—Arrays instances of the selected object
to the specified position.
Reference—Ar rays references of the selected object
to the specified position.
Array Dimensions group
Lets you add to the A rray Transfor mation
dimension. The additional dimensions are
positional only. Rotation and scale are not used.
1D—Creates a one-dimensional array, based on
the settings in the Array Transformation group.
Co unt—Specifies the total number of objects along
this dimension of the array. For 1D arrays, this is
the total number of objects in the array.
2D—Creates a two-dimensional ar ray.
Co unt—Specifies the total number of objects along
this second dimension of the array.
X/Y /Z—Specifies the incremental offset distance
along each axis of the second dimension of the
array.
3D—Creates a three-dimensional array.
Co unt—Specifies the total number of objects along
this third dimension of the array.
X/Y /Z—Specifies the incremental offset distance
along each axis of the third dimension of the array.
Total in Array—Displays the total number of entities
that the array operation will create, including the
current selection. If you’re arraying a selection set,
the total number of objects will be the result of
