At the top of the window is a group of controls placement, which allows you to select:

  • Quantity;
  • Copy step;
  • Base point;
  • Step correction;

In the drop-down list make a choice of Overlap:

  • Transparent objects;
  • Next under preceding;
  • Next Over preceding;
  • Interleave.

Button CAD software Arrays along an arbitrary path(Trajectory) 1 pick from drawing step allows you to select copies of the objects in the drawing.

Switch Show hidden line controls the display of hidden lines in the drawing. If the switch is on the hidden lines are displayed in the drawing.

Switch Rotate copies controls the orientation of the copied object. If the switch is on when copying objects are rotated so that the vector Y was directed perpendicularly to the path (as shown in the figure).

Button CAD drawing Arrays along an arbitrary path(Trajectory) 2 Selection to select the replication object in the drawing.

Button CAD drafting Arrays along an arbitrary path(Trajectory) 3 from the base to select the object from the database replication of standard elements.

Button Base point lets you choose the base point of duplicated object (normally it should be expressed in the center or corner of the object).

Button select a trajectory to select a graphic object, along which you will be replicating. As the trajectory can be used lines, polylines, arcs, circles.
