With the matrix arrangement, a series is created in which the copies of the selected object are arranged by rows and columns.
 Warning: |
|---|
In serial duplication of objects it is very important to specify the coordinates of the point to be considered as the origin of the whole selection, initially set at the center of the selection rectangle. The arrangement of objects based on the type of distribution chosen is relative to the origin of the selection. Vedere Selection Transformation Center. |
Position of the first copy
Specify the coordinates of the point where to place the first copy of the selected objects.
- Horizontal
-
Specify the horizontal position.
- Vertical
-
Specify the vertical position.
Number of copies
Specify the number of copies divided into rows and columns.
- Number of rows
-
Specify the number of rows.
- Number of copies per row
-
Specify the number of copies for each row.
Positioning
Specify the horizontal and vertical spacing between duplicate objects.
- Horizontal spacing
-
Specify the horizontal distance between copies. The distance is calculated from the point of origin of the objects.
- Vertical spacing
-
Specify the vertical distance between copies. The distance is calculated from the point of origin of the objects.
Name
You can assign a name to each object in the series. The full name consists of a fixed part and a variable index. In this box the fixed part of the name must be specified using the '%' character to indicate the position in which to insert the index. The index is appended to the name if its position is not specified. If this box is empty, no name will be assigned.
Index
The full name assigned to each object in the series consists of a fixed part and a variable index. In this box you can specify the initial value of the index to hang on the name. If the value does not represent a number then the index will be alphabetic instead of numeric. The index value is automatically increased by one, you can specify a different value for the increment by separating it from the index with a comma.
