Method and values

Method:

Selects the method to create Polar array:

·         Total number of items and Angle to Fill

·         Total number of items and Angle between items 

·         Angle to fill and Angle between items

Total number of items:

Specifies the number of arrayed items, including the original.

Angle to fill:

Specifies the angle between the first and last item in the array. A negative number produces a clockwise array rotation.

CAD software 3D Array 13

Specifies the angle on screen.

Angle between items:
