Array Enhancements
Enhanced array functionality in AutoCAD 2013 helps you create objects in a pattern faster and easier
than ever before.
After you select objects for a rectangular array, they are immediately displayed in a three-row-by-four-
column grid. When creating a polar array, the selected objects are displayed immediately after you
specify a center point, in a full circular pattern of six. After selecting objects and a path for a path array,
the objects are immediately displayed evenly along the entire length of the path. For each type of
array—rectangular, polar, and path—multifunctional grips on the array objects enable you to
dynamically edit relevant properties. You can use the Ctrl key to cycle through grips with multiple
options. In addition to using multifunctional grips, you can modify array values in the contextual ribbon
tabs as well as at the command line.
