AFAICT the array is correct. The problem is caused by the Ruled_Surface001 object. Its geometry is at a distance from the origin of the coordinate system define by its Placement.

Same issue: the command does not care how the object to be arrayed is positioned relative to the path.

it should! how to do if the part is not on (0,0,0)? :roll:
the extra placement is not very useful for an easy use.
and then, the align mode is not usable.

Create a different object or put it in a Std_Part.
