where are array buttons in SW2004?

where are array buttons in SW2004?

(OP)

Changing from 2001 to 2004, the thing I can't find is the array feature for either circular or linear arrays.  I have even tried to use the 3D array but it will not accept the hole I have created in the part as a valid starting point.

The help file shows that there should be an array button for this feature but I have not been able to find it.

Thanks for any info.

-Mark

You'll need to add those (along with others) back into your tool bars if they aren't shown already.  The quick way is to right-click on a tool bar area and select Customize > Commands.  Then drag what you want to each toolbar.

If you are not using the command often enough to add it to your toolbars, use the drop down menus.

SW now call this a "Step and repeat".

Tools - Sketch Tools - Linear/Circular Step and Repeat.

Oooooooh, looky...... I just took a peek.  They now have "Edit Linear/Circualr Step and Repeat"  Haven't done one since 2004.  Have they finally got this to a useful tool?!
