Array by distance between 2 points
« on: August 19, 2015, 09:42:59 AM »
Can someone guide me on how to do an Array between a start point and an end point with a specified offset - interval or 10 feet or something? So as it stretches the array will only show the amount of the object every 10'? Something like that.

Thanks

Use ARRAY with PATH & MEASURE option.

Code: [Select]
Command: ARRAY
Select objects: 1 found
Select objects:  Enter array type [Rectangular/PAth/POlar] <Path>: pa
Type = Path  Associative = Yes

Select path curve:
Select grip to edit array or [ASsociative/Method/Base point/Tangent direction/Items/Rows/Levels/Align items/Z direction/eXit]<eXit>: m

Enter path method [Divide/Measure] <Measure>: m

Select grip to edit array or [ASsociative/Method/Base point/Tangent direction/Items/Rows/Levels/Align items/Z direction/eXit]<eXit>: i
Specify the distance between items along path or [Expression] <1.000>: 26.355

Maximum items = 35
Specify number of items or [Fill entire path/Expression] <35>:
