Hi Michael,

I agree that integrating a complex array system would defeat the whole thrust of MoI's
simple but effective toolset, so I don't think all those functions should be bundled into
MoI, but there are a few useful things there that would be nice to have.

Having said that, the addition to MoI of "arraying on a surface" is really a valuable tool
for jewelry design. Keeping gemstones aligned "normal" to a surface during an array is really a big help.

I've installed scale array in MoI just to try it out, but I've yet to find a situation where
I would use it in my work. Maybe I just need to use my imagination better! :-)

Perhaps if there was a way to control the distance between objects irrespective of
their size, so that during a scale array, you could maintain a certain spacing between
objects while they graduate in size as they are arrayed on a surface.

I guess off the top of my head, I can't think of anything to add to the array tools
that won't complicate it! :-)
