Description

The Draft PointLinkArray tool places copies of a selected shape along various selected points. It works the same as PointArray but creates internal App Link objects instead of simple copies.

All options are described in the PointArray page.

Properties

Link

• DataScale (Float): the scale factor of the entire array.
• DataScale List (VectorList): a list of N-vectors determining the individual scaling factor of each of the N-elements in the array, where N is DataCount.
• DataLink Transform (Bool): if it is false it can override the linked object's placement.

Objects

• DataExpand Array (Bool): if it is true, the individual App Link objects will be available to select in the tree view.
• See PointArray for the rest of the options.
