  We address dissipative soliton formation in modulated PT-symmetric continuous
waveguide arrays composed from waveguides with amplifying and absorbing
sections, whose density gradually increases (due to decreasing waveguide
separation) either towards the center of the array or towards its edges. In
such a structure the level of gain/loss at which PT-symmetry gets broken
depends on the direction of increase of the waveguide density. Breakup of the
PT-symmetry occurs when eigenvalues of modes localized in the region, where
waveguide density is largest, collide and move into complex plane. In this
regime of broken symmetry the inclusion of focusing Kerr-type nonlinearity of
the material and weak two-photon absorption allows to arrest the growth of
amplitude of amplified modes and may lead to the appearance of stable
attractors either in the center or at the edge of the waveguide array,
depending on the type of array modulation. Such solitons can be stable, they
acquire specific triangular shapes and notably broaden with increase of
gain-loss level. Our results illustrate how spatial array modulation that
breaks PT-symmetry locally can be used to control specific location of
dissipative solitons forming in the array.
