Description

The Part LinkArrayLinear command creates a Link array from a selected object by placing copies in a linear pattern along one or two selected directions.

The command can be used on many 3D objects such as those created with the Part Workbench, but also on assembly instances created with the Assembly Workbench.

Usage

1. Optionally select one object.
2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Press the Linear Link Array button.
   • Select the Part/Assembly → Link Arrays → Linear Link Array option from the menu.
3. The Linear Link Array task panel opens. See Options for more information.
4. If you have not yet selected an object, press the Select Object button and select one object.
5. Enter the required parameters in the task panel.
6. Press the OK button to finish the command.

Options

• Select the direction from the dropdown list to specify the first axis along which the array will be created. It can be the X-, Y- or Z-axis, or a selected reference. Press the Reverse the direction of the pattern button to invert the pattern along this axis.
• Select the Mode: Extent or Spacing. See the PartDesign LinearPattern page for more details.
• Specify the Length or Spacing and enter the number of Occurrences.
• Optionally, check the Direction 2 box to define a second direction in the same way.
