In this video we will learn about rectangular array in autocad 2016. You can use this command to array an object in a rectangular way in the autocad 2016. You can edit an existing rectangular array. You can specify the raw count and column count during the rectangular array command.

These commands are almost similar in all new versions of autocad.


Arrayrect:

Distributes object copies into any combination of rows, columns, and levels.


Select objects

Select the objects to use in the array.


Associative

Specifies whether the arrayed objects are associative or independent.

Yes

Contains array items in a single array object, similar to a block. With an associative array, you can quickly propagate changes throughout the array by editing the properties and source objects.

No
Creates array items as independent objects. Changes to one item do not affect the other items.



Base point

Specifies a base point for positioning the items in the array.


Key point

For associative arrays, specifies a valid constraint (or key point) on the source objects to align with the path. If you edit the source objects or path of the resulting array, the base point of the array remains coincident with the key point of the source objects.


Count

Specifies the number of rows and columns and provides a dynamic view of results as you move the cursor (a quicker alternative to the Rows and Columns options).


Expression

Derives the value based on a mathematical formula or equation.


Spacing

Specifies row and column spacing and provides a dynamic view of results as you move the cursor.


Distance between rows

Specifies the distance between each row, measured from equivalent locations on each object.


Distance between columns

Specifies the distance between each column, measured from equivalent locations on each object.


Unit cell

Specifies the distance between rows and columns simultaneously by setting the each corner of a rectangular area that is equivalent to the spacing.


Columns

Edits the number and spacing of columns.


Number of columns

Sets the number of columns in the array.


Distance Between Columns

Specifies the distance between each column, measured from equivalent locations on each object.


Total


Specifies the total distance between the start and end column, measured from equivalent locations on the start and end objects.


Rows

Specifies the number of rows in the array, the distance between them, and the incremental elevation between row.


Number of rows

Sets the number of rows in the array.


Distance between rows

Specifies the distance between each row, measured from equivalent locations on each object.


Total

Specifies the total distance between the start and end row, measured from equivalent locations on the start and end objects.


Incrementing elevation

Sets the increasing or decreasing elevation for each subsequent row.


Expression

Derives the value based on a mathematical formula or equation.


Levels

Specifies the number and spacing of levels for 3D arrays.

Number of levels

Specifies the number of levels in the array.


Distance between levels

Specifies the difference in Z coordinate values between equivalent locations on each object.


Total

Specifies the total difference in Z coordinate values between equivalent locations on objects in the first and last levels.


Expression
Derives the value based on a mathematical formula or equation.


Exit

Exits the command.
