LineworkArray

This arrays objects, but it has the ability to array based on an edge of the object being arrayed. For instance if you have a box rotated 33.49584 degrees and you need it arrayed every 50 feet, you can use this and not have to use the normal array dialog box and pick two points.

Just type LineworkArray at the command line. Choose an edge from one of the objects being arrayed or you can press Enter to pick two points. You can then either drag out how many array elements you want based on the default value or you can:

  • Offset: I'm not quite sure what this option does, it may be disabled in the command since it is looking for an ARX file that is not provided with Civil 3D
  • Clear Distance: I'm not quite sure what this option does, it may be disabled in the command since it is looking for an ARX file that is not provided with Civil 3D
  • Pick array distance: Lets you pick the distance the objects will be spaced apart, just enter the new distance and press enter.
  • Enter Count: Lets you specify how many object copies are to be made at the array distance. After hitting enter the number of copies specified is entered and you are exited from the command.
