Define and manage associative rectangular, polar, and path arrays
- [Instructor] We're moving into a new drawing now for this particular part of this section in the chapter. We're going to be looking at how we define and manage associative rectangular, polar, and path arrays. And I've created a simple drawing for you called Mechanical_ARRAYS.dwg to use to follow along with the video, so make sure you download it from the library to follow along with this particular video. Now, it's a very simple drawing when you open it up, and you should be in the Model tab. The little blue circular symbol there is an AutoCAD block that represents a nut and bolt arrangement, and it's been placed in three different scenarios, so you've got rectangular, polar, and path array. And we're going to look at how these work and how we can manage those associative rectangular, polar, and path arrays. So zoom in on the square one on the left, first of all. Let's get that one zoomed in there. Now, the array…
