In the CAD I used to use before it got ridiculously expensive, I could create rectangular or polar arrays of objects.  Say I wanted to create an array of small circles, 16 of them , in a four by four array. I could then draw one circle, and select the rectangular array function.  When I told the function the number of repetitions and the distance between points, it would then create the array.

I also used the rectangular array a lot.  Say I wanted a circle with lines from the center (like for a clock face). I could draw a line to the 12 o'clock point,  Then, I could select the line, and then the circular array function. I could type in the number of objects (lines) and the angle.  I could then indicate a center and it would draw that many lines at the requested angle.

I have used the search engine in the manual and did not find an appropriate hits.
