component array

[Azum]

This is a problem that I have experienced several times before and wondered what the solution is. It looks to me like a glitch in the program

Pic 1 An array of beams are created from 1 original beam
Pic 2 These are the components I need to array up the beam 11 rows and along the array of beams 14 columns
Pic 3 Select the components and choose the beam for the direction of array. Nothing else in the drawing to give the direction and the preview shows exactly what I want to happen
Pic 4 Press Ok and all the components end up in a pile in the corner Happens every time

I have zipped the screen shots up in a zip file
Any ideas anyone

I have been told by my VAR that this is a glitch in the program and has been lurking there since year 1. They are unable to repair it as it links in with a fundamental part of the program. Or something like that. The workaround is not to select an edge of a component but before you start insert a work axis to pick up when you start to component pattern.

For more stuff see my next post that I am about to put up entitled Mirror Component. Guess what happens then?

It appears that you have two rows set at 2mm apart, which would explain the 'pile up'.
