Description
This tool creates a new path by duplicating another path several times at a certain interval distance.

Usage

- Press the Array button
- Press Apply
- Adjust the desired properties at the data box
Properties
- DataType: The type array (polar, linear one ore two directions)
- DataOffset: The spacing between the array copies for each direction
- DataCopies: The number of copies ( not counting the original ) for each direction
