Arrays

The deleted idea is better.

I really like how tool is working now!

Can you make UI looks like this:

I used that drag bands for Radious and Angle because they are more effective than previous, also previous ones are hardly to use:

They take a lot of space that is not used, and it is practically impossible to change Angle it moves very slow.

Also I removed Maintain Orientation check box because for a 5 years I made hundreds circular arrays and never  was a case where I need to use this feature, so lets keep only necessary options to keep ui simple.

Cant use that control for Radius. Because the maximum value is not certain. If it is set too high, sensitivity will be bad. If too low, you may not get the value you want.

Ok, got it, lets than use previous controls for Radius and Angle, fix pleas Angle, it moves very slow.

Cool!
IStonia,
I think a lot how to make some universal options for all that new instance tools and this is what I got.
We have these cool idea with radio buttons:


- Lets add to them option - Disabled. So when this option is set all other options will be disabled it is like now turn off Set Manual pivot tool.

- Lets unlink Manual pivot tool from Set Circle Space and Set Reference Space. So they will work independently without any connections.

- When you enable any other tools option Disabled will be enabled automatically.

Lets test it, than we will add the same functionality with Radio Buttons to Instance (Spline), it will work very close to what you suggested with that check box.
It will have to Options:
- Set Reference Space
- Disable

So I think we will have one universal intuitive workflow for all this tools. And no need to use other tools like Set Manual Pivot, everything is in Tool UI.

I don't feel that's a good idea though. I don't want to spend time on this.

Hay, can you explain why? Because finally looks like I found solution how to unify that tools. Now we made 2 tools but they have a bit different workflows but have to have one path of work with the same options.
IStonia, if you have not enough time do not hurry, I have now a lot of work with site design, so I hope till the end of month will finish.
Having this radio button conception we will make Dirrectory array and Array very fast no need to experimemt and create conception from scratch.

There are two modes in spline array
1. Set reference space. Pivot tool on.
2. Modify spline or source geometry. Pivot tool off.

There are three modes in circle array
1. Set circle space. Pivot tool on.
2. Set Reference space. Pivot tool on.
3. Modify source geometry. Pivot tool off.

How can you set an universal ui for this?

Hay looks like we do not understood each other 
looks like my English is not very good to explain it so I made screen to show you what I meant:


I just wanted to make that part, that is for setting manipulator will have the same universal options like on Screen for all these tools.
Also I wanted to unlink Set Manual Pivot tool from these tools. So we will have everything we need on our UI without needing to use other external tools like Set Manual Pivot.

Don't understand this.

I made video to explain this:

Works good!

Some things:

- Now when you have Disable checked, tool continue to work when you use Set Object Pivot or Set Manual pivot but it have to not react on it! You disable it so it have to mean that nothing can change it.

- If you move base object or rotate it, pivot do not go with object so Refference Center stay where it was can you fix it?

Check your mail!

Can you show it in a video?
