A.
...
The Sweep Translate
...
feature allows the user to perform these tasks.
The Sweep Translate function feature moves and copies the target object objects along a any selected random path.
In the The example below , we will examine the function shows this feature being used to copy the selected target object along an arbitrary (semicircle: the semi-circle path with R=10.0m) path.
Pattern Spacing & User Defined
| Info |
|---|
When the The target object (Solid) is copied at intervals of 5m for along the length of the defined arc (circumference) defined as a path (path with R=10.0m) . (Figure. 1) When the The target object (Solid) is copied at intervals of 2m, 4m, 6m, 8m, and 10m for along the defined length of the arc (circumference) defined as a path (path with R=10.0m) . (Figure. 2)

Uniform Divisions
| Info |
|---|
When the The target object (Solid) is copied to a point divided by 5 for the length of the arc (circumference) defined as a points that divide the defined arc path (R=10.0m) into five equal intervals. (Figure. 3) Min. Clearance : This is used to offset the end point by 1.0m is when and then copy the target object is copied to a point divided into 5 equal parts for the length of an arc (circumference) 1.0m away from the END point of the defined to points that divide the defined arc path (R=10.0m) into five equal intervals. (Figure. 4)

Uniform Max. Spacing
| Info |
|---|
The target object (Solid) is copied at an interval smaller than the Uniform Max. Spacing = When copied with equal values smaller than 10m of 10m along the defined arc path (R=10.0m) (Figure. 5) The Since the circumference of a semicircle the semi-circle is πr=31.4m, so if you divide it into equal parts less than 10m, 4 objects are copied the target object will be copied four times when a value smaller than 10m is applied.

Uniform Min. Spacing
| Info |
|---|
Uniform Min. In the case of copying equally divided by a value greater than Spacing=10m The target object (Solid) is copied at an interval larger than the Uniform Max. Spacing of 10m along the defined arc path (R=10.0m) (Figure. 7) Since the circumference of a semicircle the semi-circle is πr=31.4m, if it is divided by the target object will be copied three times when a value greater larger than 10m , 3 objects are copied is applied.

Alignment Follow Horizontal Path Axis : When checked, it is defined as the local coordinate system of the path based on the object’s horizontal direction of the object. (Default : Check on) (Figure. 9) Follow Vertical Path Axis : When checked, it is defined as the local coordinate system of the path based on the object’s vertical direction of the object.
