Hi, please use the suggested format for feature requests.

The array feature has been available for a few months.

Hey Sabbir,  
not very helpful that you created another topic on that Feature-Request - so i moved this topic to the “Need help?”-category. Those who want to follow progress on the feature-request with the more defined request:

> [@We need a feature similar to Blender's Array Modifier](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/t/we-need-a-feature-similar-to-blenders-array-modifier/23690):
>
> We need a feature similar to Blender’s Array modifier, which creates a set number of instances of the base object and all the instances automatically replicating any changes made to the base object. This feature is different from patterns. Pattern creates a set number of independent copies. Whereas an array modifier is suppose to create instances of the base object and all the instances automatically replicating any changes made to the base model. If I wanted to create 10 instances of a model,…

I would not expect this request to be realized that early due to the fact that this needs a parametrical environment with associative relations between sketches+features+features. That is not established right now in S3D (you can proof that by deleting sketches that once lead to a feature no problem!).  
Happy S3Ding…  
Cheers Matt
