terror_storm Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 How can I trim entities in an array? I can make the array just fine, but I don't know why it won't let me trim them. I suppose it's trying to keep references to the array and the original entity that the array is based off of, but at this point I don't wish to keep that information. For what I'm doing I could just use offset but that is time consuming. Thanks! Quote
CyberAngel Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 If the array is one entity, you should be able to explode it. Then you can work with the individual entities. Welcome to the forum! Quote
BIGAL Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Are you arraying blocks ? these may not trim. maybe try Cookiecutter.lsp search here Also you can do stuff like trim to a pline using the "F" option Quote
rkent Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 2012 has associative arrays, you can use the arrayclassic command, or just explode the associative array and then trim. Quote
JBullseye74 Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Another way of doing it.... when in array command at the end it says: Press Enter to accept or [ASsociative/Base point/Rows/Columns/Levels/eXit] Type AS for associative and then NO. Saves you having to explode them after :-) Quote

This is what I was looking for, thank you. you can use the arrayclassic command Good to know about this, too. Are you arraying blocks ? these may not trim. I was not arraying blocks, but I will keep this in mind.
