XArrayP

Number of items

Defines the number of items in the array.

Do one of the following:

• Type a number in the Number of items field.

• Press the Up- and Down-arrow button.

Angle to fill

Defines the angle between the first an the last item in the array.

Do one of the following:

• Type the angle in the Angle to fill field.

• Click the down-arrow, then pick a previously used value in the list box.

• Click the Pick button (), the dialog box temporarily closes.
  Prompts you in the command bar:
  Angle of revolution: Click two points.
  The angle is measured counter clockwise between the positive X-axis and the line defined by the two points.

Reverse

Reverses the angle.

Positive angles are measured counter clockwise.

Axis

Defines the axis of revolution.

The Z-axis of the current UCS is used by default.

Do one of the following:

• 2 Points: The Create Polar Array dialog box temporarily closes. You are prompted in the command bar to define two points.

• Edge/Object: The Create Polar Array dialog box temporarily closes. You are prompted in the command bar: select line, arc, circle or edge.

• • line: the selected line defines the axis

  • arc, circle: the axis passes through the center point of the arc or circle and is perpendicular to the plane of the arc or circle.

  • edge: the selected edge of an X-solid or Acis solid defines the axis.

• X, Y and Z: The X-, Y- or Z-axis of the current UCS defines the axis.

• Move: The Create Polar Array dialog box temporarily closes. You are prompted in the command bar to define a point. The previously defined axis is moved parallel  to pass through the selected point.

Pick All

The Create Polar Array dialog box temporarily closes. You are prompted in the command:

• Center point <0,0,0>: Click a point to define the axis parallel to the Z-axis of the current UCS.

• Number of items: Type the number of items.

• Angle to fill (+=ccw , -=cw): type the angle to fill.

Associative

If checked, creates the polar array as a composite X-Solid.

If the arrayed solids overlap each other, they are unified.

After primitive creation, perform operation:

Launches the XUnion, XIntersect or XSubtract command to be executed using the newly created X-Solid box. You are prompted in the command bar to select one or more other solids.
