Creates an array by copying the selected objects around a specified center
point or axis of rotation.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Select objects: Use an object selection method
Specify center point on page 58 of array or [Base point on page 58/Axis of
rotation
on page 58]: Specify a center point, or enter an option
Enter number of
items on page 58 or [Angle between on page 59/Expression
on page 58] <last count>: Specify the number of items or enter an option
Specify the
angle to fill on page 59 (+=ccw, -=cw) or [Expression]: Enter a fill
angle or enter an option

Center Point
Specifies the point around which to distribute the array items. The axis of
rotation is the Z axis of the current UCS.
Base Point
Specifies a base point for the array.
Key Point For associative arrays, specifies a valid constraint (or key point) on
the source objects to use as the base point. If you edit the source objects of
the resulting array, the base point of the array remains coincident with the
key point of the source objects.
Axis of Rotation
Specifies a custom axis of rotation defined by two specified points.
Items
Specifies the number of items in the array.
Expression Derives a value using a mathematical formula or equation.
NOTE When defining the fill angle in an expression, the (+ or -) mathematical
symbol in the resultant value does not affect the direction of the array.
