Specify the distance between columns (|||):
To add columns to the left, specify a negative value for the distance between
columns. Rectangular arrays are constructed along a baseline defined by the
current snap rotation. This angle is normally 0, so the rows and columns are
orthogonal with respect to the X and Y drawing axes. The Rotate option of
the
SNAP on page 1789 command changes the angle and creates a rotated array.
The
SNAPANG on page 2518 system variable stores the snap rotation angle.
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.
Polar
Creates an array by copying the selected objects around a specified center
point.
Specify center point of array or [Base]: Specify a point or enter b to specify a new
base point
Center Point Creates an array defined by a center point.
Base Specifies a new reference (base) point relative to the selected objects that
will remain at a constant distance from the center point of the array as the
objects are arrayed.
Enter the number of items in the array: Enter a positive integer or press ENTER
If you enter a value for the number of items, you must specify either the angle
to fill or the angle between items. If you press ENTER (and do not provide the
number of items), you must specify both.
Specify the angle to fill (+=ccw, -=cw) <360>: Enter a positive integer for a
counterclockwise rotation or a negative integer for a clockwise rotation
