Description
The 
CAM Array command creates a new path by duplicating another path several times at a certain interval distance.
Usage
- Select the operation you want to repeat
- Press the
Array button - Press Apply
- Adjust the desired properties at the data box
Properties
- DataType: The array type:
Linear1D,Linear2DorPolar - DataOffset: The spacing between the array copies for each direction
- DataCopies: The number of copies (not counting the original) for each direction
introduced in 1.2: The previous percentage-based jitter control has been replaced by DataUseJitter. Jitter can be applied to polar arrays, and random rotation jitter is available for all array types.
- DataUseJitter: Enables random offsets and rotations for generated array copies
- DataJitterMagnitude: The maximum random translation in each direction
- DataJitterAngle: The maximum random rotation angle
- DataJitterSeed: The seed value for repeatable jitter
