CAD shortcut key commands: Detailed explanation of array commands

Thread Content

In the process of drawing with Haochen CAD drawing software, various CAD shortcut key commands are often used, including the array command, which can copy and arrange objects. Next, I will introduce the skills of using the array command in detail! There are three types of arrays, circular array, rectangular array and path array. Here we focus on the circular array and rectangular array that we usually use most. Array command enablement: Enter ARRAY or AR on the command line and press Enter to enable it. Find the ribbon-Draw-select the desired array method, such as rectangular array, and confirm. The difference between different array methods: ring array: We can enable the array command by entering ARRAY, and then select the rectangular array, or directly enter the shortcut key ARRAYPOLAR for the circular array on the command line. The circular array needs to define the center point (center point) of the array, and then define the number of items, angles and angles between each item according to the needs. rectangular array: The shortcut key for a rectangular array is ARRAYRECT. You can also directly enable the array command and then select a rectangular array. For a rectangular array, you need to define the number of rows, the number of columns, the offset values ​​of rows and columns, and the real angle of the array. Array command description: If we need to create multiple regularly arranged objects in drawing, it is recommended to use the array command, which is faster than copying. For a rectangular array, we can set the number of rows, columns, and the distance between each object. When making a circular array, we can set the number of copies required, whether to select and the angle, and we can also choose whether it is clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on whether it is a positive or negative number when setting the angle. After the array operation is completed, we can continue to modify it. We only need to click on one of the objects, and the CAD software will pop up the array settings tab, and we can modify it directly. Rectangular array operation example: Here is just a simple example of a rectangular array. For the operation of a circular array, you can refer to the command prompts and try it as shown in the figure below. Array the bathroom graphics in the figure to other rooms. 1. Enter ARRAYRECT on the command line, press the Enter key to confirm, then select the following objects in the box, and press the Enter key to confirm. 2. At this time, above the menu bar, you can set the array. Here we set the number of rows to 1, and then press the Enter key to confirm. 3. According to the command line prompt, enter B to select the base point. At this time, we select the corner between the two bathrooms as the points of the array object, and then press the Enter key to confirm, as shown in the figure below.: 5. According to the command line prompt, continue to enter S and select the distance between the array objects. At this time, we select the corner of the first bathroom as the first point and the corner of the second bathroom as the second point. Press Enter to confirm. As shown below: 6. After completing the above operations, we can press the Enter key to confirm the subsequent operations. The final effect is as shown in the figure below.: After completing the operation, if we want to modify the association between objects, we can click on any object in the array and make settings in the setting interface that pops up in the menu bar (such as step 2). The above are the tips for using array commands in Haochen CAD drawing software. Everyone must be proficient in commonly used CAD shortcut key commands, which will be of great help in improving the drawing speed.~
