Port Matrix component

Create an accurately spaced array of up to eight components, each corresponding to a pin of the chosen port. If the cloned component has a property called 'pin', this will be set the the corresponding pin of the matrix port, and the component will behave as if it were connected directly to that pin. If there are less than eight clones, the unused upper bits of the port will be masked out to allow them to be used by other components.

Fc9-type-17-icon.png Target Object
Choose an object that will be duplicated for each required pin of the chosen port. The object should have a property called 'pin' to which the pins of the port will automatically be attached. 
Fc9-type-21-icon.png Count
Number of objects in the matrix. They will be assigned pins from the chosen port sequentially, beginning with pin0. 
Fc9-type-16-icon.png Alignment
Which 3D axis the cloned objects will be arranged along. 
Fc9-type-15-icon.png Spacing
The distance between cloned objects in the matrix. 
Fc9-conn-icon.png Connections
Fc9-type-4-icon.png Port
Choose a port to connect the matrix of objects to. Each will be assigned a single pin of the port automatically by the Port Matrix component.
