Description

Provides additional editing for all elements of an associative array or for an individual element in the associative array.
Note: Arrays edited by this command must have been made associative by the ARRAY command. It does not work with arrays created by the ARRAYCLASSIC command or -ARRAY command.

Method

There are two methods when editing an associative array using ARRAYEDITEXT command:

  • Edit all elements of the array: interactively adjusts the spacing between them and changes the number of elements.
  • Edit an individual item of the array: moves (offset), scales, rotates or deletes it.

Options within the command

SPacing
Adjusts the spacing of an entire associative array interactively.
REsizing
Resizes the entire array by removing entities interactively.
Offset item
Moves the entities of an associative array to a different location.
Note: Pick points or enter x, y coordinates.
Scale item
Resize an entity of an associative array.
Note: A scale factor larger than 1 makes the entity larger and smaller than 1 makes is smaller.
Rotate item
Rotates an entity of an associative array.
Note: Positive numbers, for the rotation angle, rotate counter clockwise and negative numbers rotate clockwise.
Delete item
Deletes an entity of an associative array.
BEdit Source
Opens the source of the array for editing with the BEDIT command.
Note: After erasing the expression, the value is returned to the previous state. Each saving of the BEDIT session is considered as a new state.
