Dear Navid,

There are options available where you can duplicate your structure (full or partial) with respect to any line. If you cannot do it graphically, just perform the action in any direction. Later, go to the duplicate along line created under that particular element and edit your X, Y, and Z parameter values. You can also assign variable to them. I hope it helps !

Hi Navid

Generally, to duplicate an object along a straight line, use the Edit>Duplicate>Along Line command. The line along which the object is duplicated can be vertical, horizontal, or lie at an angle.

1. Select the object you want to duplicate.

2. Click Edit>Duplicate>Along Line.📷.

3. Specify the vector along which the object will be duplicated:

a. Select an arbitrary anchor point in one of the following ways:

• Click the point.

• Type the point’s coordinates in the X, Y, and Z boxes.

Any point in the drawing region can be selected; however, selecting an anchor point on the object’s edge or within the object makes it easier to select the duplication line.

b. Select a second point in one of the following ways:

• Click the point.

• Type the coordinates of a point relative to the anchor point in the dX, dY, and dZ boxes, where d is the distance from the previously selected point.

This point defines the direction and distance from the anchor point to duplicate the object.

The Duplicate Along Line dialog box appears.

4. Type the total number of objects, including the original, in the Total Number box.

5. By option check the Attach to Original Object checkbox. If this is checked, no ports or boundary conditions are duplicated for the child.

6. Click OK.

The duplicates are placed along the vector you specified.

But if you want to duplicate your object along a curve path, I do have not any experience with this.

thanks for your answer, I got it.

just do you have any idea about duplicating along any arbitrary path for example exponential for tapering SIW Vias?

Navid Razi : Indeed you can do that. As I mentioned earlier you can edit the coordinates of the duplicated structures. In that case, if you know the coordinates well, you can do it. However, I would suggest you to design your path first and try to duplicate by copying the coordinates properly. It would be little tough though but it can be done !

Dear Shobit, do you have any sample introduction to that because when I put the equation of arbitrary path in x,y, and z coordinate, it again draws a straight line.
