polar Duplicate

Modify | Transform | Polar Duplicate

This duplication tool creates copies of an object or objects in a circular pattern around a common center point.

In the example below, a set of 7 circles were created by arraying the circle shown by the arrow. The center point is the common center shown by the x and the angle of rotation is 360°

7 equi-spaced circles created from circle shown by arrow. Angle of rotation 360°

[This tool is discussed and demonstrated in more detail here](2D Session 03_05.htm#Polar).

A solid object such as an extrusion shown in the example below can be duplicated using the Polar Duplicate. The slot will be duplicated in a polar array to produce 4 equi-spaced slots. The center of the array is shown.

The total angle of rotation is given as 360° to produce the result shown below.

4 Slots created using a single extrusion. Total angle of rotation is 360°.
