Bug: Linear arrays with negative gaps fail

galgier · December 18, 2023, 6:12pm

How to repeat:

Add circle radius 10 centered at (100,100).
Select Linear Array. It will default to Center mode with 30 for both X and Y spacing.
Change to Gap mode. The circles will distribute upwards off the material.
Change either or both spacing to “-30”.

The circles will overlap, they should have a 30mm gap, but distribute in the negative direction.

I said it fails in gap mode. You showed center mode.

Try selecting the “gap” button before entering the negative offset.

For gap mode, the calculation is from the right edge:

so the solution is to use Center Mode if one wishes to use negative values, or to add in the height/width of the object to the negative movement:
