                        Figure 3.12
                        The Move To 2nd option is
                        used in the array tool to set
                        a fixed distance between
                        instances: (a) setting the
                        array distance; (b) changing
                        the number of elements in
                        the array.






                                                                          (a)

















                                                                          (b)

                             If you want to arrange elements in a fixed space and the exact spacing between elements
                           is less important, use the Move To Last option. Figure 3.13 shows an array where the location
                           of its last element was picked and the elements were placed equally between the first and last
                           elements. With this option, the length is fixed and the array squeezes elements within that
                           constraint as the number changes.

                        Figure 3.13
                        This array uses the Move To
                        last option and fills instances
                        between the first and last
                        instances: (a) creating an
                        array first to last; (b) adding
                        more elements to this array to                       (a)
                        keep the end element in the
                        same location but add more in
                        between.
