​Automatic creation of 2D associative Array

​Re-Open file »BricsCAD Pro Blog_Tutorial_Blockify.dwg«.
Blockify can turn repetitive sets into associative arrays to control the array of the same sets of blocks. For example, a conference table with the possibility to control the number of tables and chairs.

Creating 4 blocks of double tables with 2 chairs:​
- Home / Blocks / Blockify
- Select Settings options.
- The Settings dialog box opens. Under Blockify settings check the only options 32 and 64.
- Select items to array – 2 opposite tables with chairs.
- Select block insertion point in the middle of both tables
- For search space select the whole set of conference tables – 8 tables with chairs.
- Type Table for block name.
4 sets of double tables now form together 1 conference table.
