Rectangular Pattern

Now, we will learn to create copies of objects in a rectangular pattern, or called rectanguler array.

For Rectangular Array, an array of rows and columns of copies of objects that we choose to control the number of rows and columns and the distance between each.

If we define a line, we must specify more than one column. If we set a large number of rows and columns to arrays,

AutoCAD may take time to make copies. By default, the maximum number of array elements that can we produce in a single command is 100,000.
