For example:
We're going to create a grid of I-
beams, lets first input the number
of rows and columns (in this case
3 and 4). Now input the row and
column offset: 30 units to the
right and 20 units upward.
AutoCAD automatically shows a
preview of the array operation in
the white square, try
experimenting with different
values (for instance a negative
value instead of a positive one) to
see what happens.
When you're satisfied with the
settings, select the object to use in
the row operation, by first
clicking on the 'Select Objects'
button and then on the objects
themselves.
Finish the selection by pressing
[space] or [enter]
When the array window
reappears, select either Preview or
