Would it be possible in the future when doing array...it updates before pressing ok?
This will take the time to undo and redo.
so when you are doing the spacing numbers it update before pressing ok.

Tnx!

Hi Matadem,

re:

It will take away that time, but add in some new time because an extra step will then be required.

Currently to do a 10x10 array you can do this:

Step1: Select objects
Step2: Run ArrayGrid
Step3: At "Choose number of copies" prompt push Done.
Step4: Enter width
Step5: Enter height
Finished after 5 steps

The way you are describing would be like this:
Step1: Select objects
Step2: Run ArrayGrid
Step3: At "Choose number of copies" prompt push Done.
Step4: Enter width
Step5: Enter height
Step6: Wait for edits of width and height. Push Done to finish even if no edits needed.
Finished after 6 steps

That's an additional step needed compared to the current method.

The reason for this to avoid redo if the results are not satisfactory.

as soon as I put the y spacing it closes the tabs ...so yes even to wait the extra step will still be faster imo compared to a redo.

Tnx!

Hi Matadem, give this version a try it should keep running after x and y spacing have been set.
