Target spacing vs. Instances per loop

fill pattern

fill pattern it's a very functional array operation.

Performance comparison in sketch and feature patterns

You can use it to duplicate your own shapes or use it (in the case of cutouts) of four built-in.

In the case of a Circular formation, you can choose from two options:

1. Target spacing – definiują rozstaw kątowy na poszczególnych średnicach wystąpień. Im większa odległość od środka – automatycznie wzrasta liczba powtórzeń na obwodzie.

2. Instances for loops – tutaj niezależnie od odległości od środka, there are always the same number of repetitions around the perimeter.

attention. It is worth mentioning on this occasion, that the Fill Pattern requires direction to be specified. We don't often think about it, because in the case of objects with linear edges, the program automatically selects one of the edges as the direction. But if the pattern applies to irregular objects, round, oval etc. – kierunek należy określić ręcznie. You can do this e.g. by drawing an auxiliary line in advance. No direction indication, this type of formation will fail!
