Adding Dummies around Modgen Instances using the Array Assistant

The Array Assistant lets you add dummies along one or more edges of a Modgen grid pattern.

To add dummies:

Select the required instances in the Pattern region of the Array Assistant.
Right-click to display the shortcut menu.
Select a direction to insert dummies.

Dummies are added in the specified direction. The dummies created using this method are backward-compatible with the Modgen dummies creation options.

Dummy properties are automatically reset to defaults when you change the pattern of the entire Modgen, for example, when you apply a base pattern, a different pattern using the Text tab, or a preset pattern. However, pattern edits that are localized to a portion of the pattern grid, for example, editing or adding dummies, rows, or columns, do not impact the dummy configurations.
