Li Chuang EDA learning notes 16: array copy and array distribution

The two are different , Don't confuse , They are not on the same menu , for instance ,

The object of the array copy is a car , After the array copy, there will be many identical cars arranged according to your requirements .

The objects of array distribution are many vehicles , And maybe these cars are different , After the array is distributed, it will be arranged according to your requirements , But no new cars will be produced in the process , No copy is generated .

Array is cad Important concepts in cartography ,CAD There are many introductions and explanations in relevant materials , Lichuang eda There is less relevant information , I post the contents of the tutorial below .

Array replica

stay ： Top menu - edit - Array replica .

Select one or more elements , Click the array copy menu , After setting the required parameters , You can copy the array .

Click OK to generate multiple elements .

Array distribution

entrance ： Top menu - alignment - Array distribution .

Usage method ： Batch select the elements that need array distribution - Click the array distribution menu - Set up and distribute .

Rectangular array ：

• Element rotation angle ： The rotation angle of the element itself , Set to 30 Then all elements rotate 30 degree .
• Location ： The position of the first element in the upper left corner .
• Distribution type ：
  • Column ： From top to bottom, from left to right ,N Glyph distribution .
  • That's ok ： From left to right and from top to bottom ,Z Glyph distribution .

Circular array ：

• Element rotation angle ： The rotation angle of the element itself , Set to 30 Then all elements rotate 30 degree .
• Location ： The position of the center .
• radius ： The radius of the circle .
• Starting angle ： The starting angle of the first element .0 Degrees is the left center position , Between the first quadrant and the fourth quadrant .
• Direction ： The forward direction of the element arrangement . Clockwise or counter clockwise .
• interval ： The angle of separation between each element .
• Rotate the object to fit the circle ： choice ” yes ” The placement angle of elements will be based on   Element rotation angle + Spacing angle   Set it up .

Object not rotated ：

After rotating the object ：
