Array, AutoCAD 2021
This video is a tutorial on the Array commands in AutoCAD 2021, demonstrating how to efficiently create multiple copies of objects in three different arrangements: Rectangular, Polar (circular), and Path (along a curve). The tutorial highlights important features like the Associative option, which allows the array to be edited as a single object, and how to use the Edit Source and Replace Item tools for making modifications after creation.
