This macro copies the selected object several times, on an array grid. You can define the number of rows and columns and the distance between them. You need pyqt installed.

import FreeCAD, FreeCADGui, Part
from PyQt4 import QtGui,QtCore

def proceed():
    try:
        u = (int(l1.text()),float(l2.text()))   
        v = (int(l3.text()),float(l4.text()))
    except:
        FreeCAD.Console.PrintError("Wrong input! Only numbers allowed...\n")
    sel = FreeCADGui.Selection.getSelection()
    if sel:
        sel = sel[0]
        name = sel.Name   
        shape = sel.Shape
        for column in range(u[0]):
            for row in range(v[0]):
                if (column != 0) or (row != 0):
                    delta = FreeCAD.Vector(column*u[1],row*v[1],0)   
                    newshape = sel.Shape.copy()
                    newshape.translate(delta)
                    newobject = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("Part::Feature",name)
                    newobject.Shape = newshape
    else:
        FreeCAD.Console.PrintError("Error: One object must be selected")
    hide()

def hide():
    dialog.hide()

dialog.resize(200,300)
dialog.setWindowTitle("Array")
