Description

The Draft PathLinkArray command creates a Link array from a selected object by placing copies along a path. Use the Draft PathArray command to create a less efficient regular array instead. Except for the type of array that is created, Link array or regular array, this command is identical to the Draft PathArray command. See there for more information.

-The {{Button|[[Image:Draft_PathLinkArray.svg|16px]] [[Draft_PathLinkArray|Draft PathLinkArray]]}} tool places copies of a selected shape along a selected path, which can be a [[Draft Wire|Draft Wire]], a [[Draft BSpline|Draft BSpline]], and similar edges. It works the same as {{Button|[[Image:Draft_PathArray.svg|16px]] [[Draft_PathArray|PathArray]]}} but creates internal [[App_Link|App Link]] objects instead of simple copies.

-All options are described in the {{Button|[[Image:Draft_PathArray.svg|16px]] [[Draft_PathArray|PathArray]]}} page.
-==Properties==
-{{TitleProperty| Link}}
-* {{PropertyData|Scale|Float}}: the scale factor of the entire array.
-* {{PropertyData|Scale List|VectorList}}: a list of N-vectors determining the individual scaling factor of each of the N-elements in the array.
-* {{PropertyData|Link Transform|Bool}}: if it is {{TRUE}}, the links will be able to be transformed.
-{{TitleProperty|Alignment}}
-* See [[Draft_PathArray|PathArray]].
-{{TitleProperty|Objects}}
-* {{PropertyData|Expand Array|Bool}}: if it is {{TRUE}}, in the [[tree_view|tree view]] the individual [[App_Link|App Link]] objects will be available to select.
-* See [[Draft_PathArray|PathArray]] for the rest of the options.
