Array copy a draw object in Expedition PCB.

********************************************************
Requirement: - Make multiple copies /Array of a draw object at a specified distance.

Solution: - Use keyin command as dx=x,y c r

Syntax: - as dx=x,y column row

Where,
as = Array Selected.
dx = move delta.
x = Distance/Spacing in x direction.
y = Distance/Spacing in y direction.
c= number of Columns.
r= number of rows.

Usage:-
#.Select draw object which needs to be replicated.
#.Keyin command with appropriate values as per syntax.
#.Hit Enter.

Note: - While entering Keyin command make sure that there are no additional spaces other than those specified in syntax.

Examples:-
Step and repeat
If you need a line in silk layer to be copied 10 times with a spacing of 100 thou in x direction the Keyin command would be.

Array example
If you need an array of circles with 100 mils spacing in both x and y directions and with an array size of 2 rows and 4 columns. The Keyin command would be.
