Creates an array of selected sketcher elements.

Select sketcher elements in task panel or in 3D view.
There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Rectangular array button.
- Select the Sketch → Sketcher tools → Rectangular array from the menu.
A menu will pop up asking you for the different options of the array. Set options and press OK.
Select a reference point in the 3D view to create the array.

Array options.

General: Create sketch, Edit sketch, Map sketch to face, Reorient sketch, Validate sketch, Merge sketches, Mirror sketch, Leave sketch, View sketch, View section, Toggle grid, Toggle snap, Configure rendering order, Stop operation

Sketcher geometries: Point, Line, Arc, Arc by 3 points, Circle, Circle by 3 points, Ellipse, Ellipse by 3 points, Arc of ellipse, Arc of hyperbola, Arc of parabola, B-spline by control points, Periodic B-spline by control points, B-spline by knots, Periodic B-spline by knots, Polyline, Rectangle, Centered rectangle, Rounded rectangle, Triangle, Square, Pentagon, Hexagon, Heptagon, Octagon, Regular polygon, Slot, Fillet, Corner-preserving fillet, Trim, Extend, Split, External geometry, Carbon copy, Toggle construction geometry

Sketcher constraints:
