Grid array and circular copy
Repeat selected objects in rows and columns, along a direction or around a center.
The array tools use shared preview and input controls in the Tool Guide and on the canvas. Linear array repeats the selection along a chosen direction, Grid array repeats it in rows and columns, and Circular copy repeats it around a center. Check the preview: spacing between repeated positions is not necessarily the gap between object edges.
Select the objects to repeat
Select the source object or objects before choosing an array tool. An empty or unsupported selection cannot create an array.
Set up a Linear array
Select the source objects and choose Linear array. Click a start point, then a second point to establish the direction and spacing. After that, use Copies, Spacing and Direction in the shared controls; 3D also offers Tilt. Inspect the preview, then use Apply (Enter) to keep the array or Cancel (Esc) to discard the uncommitted array.
Set up a Grid array
Choose Grid array. Set Columns, Rows, Column spacing and Row spacing. The shared grid session opens when the selection is available; this tool does not need a separate origin-click gesture. Enter lengths in the project units or with explicit units.
Set up a Circular copy
Choose Circular copy, then click its center. Set the number of copies and use the angle controls to choose the total arc or angle between copies. Review orientation and rotation-offset controls before applying. A full circle and a partial arc place copies differently, so check the preview.
Apply or cancel the array
Use Apply (Enter) to create the previewed array. Cancel (Esc) cancels the uncommitted array. Use Undo after applying if the result is not what you intended.
Repeat after a single copy
After placing a normal copy, the shared repeat controls offer multiplication or division, a copy count, Spacing and Direction; in 3D they also show Tilt. Keep (Enter) adds the repeat copies. Only one copy (Esc) closes this repeat stage and keeps the copy already placed.
