Using the standard ARRAY command, you can also create dynamic angled "rectangular" (or in this case trapezoidal) arrays of elements in AutoCAD.

Create a standard rectangular (orthographic) array and then in its Properties (Ctrl+1) modify the parameter "Included axis angle" from the default "rectangular" value of 90° to the desired value of the angle taken by the X and Y axes (i.e. the "skew" of the array). The resulting array will remain dynamic.
