List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Select Objects
Specifies the objects used to construct the array. You can select objects before
or after the Array dialog box is displayed. To select objects when the Array
dialog box is displayed, choose Select Objects. The dialog box temporarily
closes. When you finish selecting objects, press Enter. The Array dialog box
is redisplayed, and the number of objects selected is shown below the Select
Objects button.
NOTE If you select multiple objects, the base point of the last selected object is
used to construct the array.
Preview Area
Shows a preview image of the array based on the current settings in the dialog
box. The preview image is dynamically updated when you move to another
field after changing a setting.
Rectangular Array
Creates an array of rows and columns of copies of the selected object.
Rows
Specifies the number of rows in the array.
If you specify one row, you must specify more than one column. If you specify
a large number of rows and columns for the array, it might take a while to
create the copies. By default, the maximum number of array elements that
you can generate in one command is 100,000. The limit is set by the
MAXARRAY setting in the registry. To reset the limit to 200,000, for example,
enter (setenv "MaxArray" "200000") at the Command prompt.
