Copy component and rotate
-
Hi first of all I am new to the forum, so hello all. My question is this I have been playing with circular surfaces. Is there a way to make copies of a component and rotate them around the surface so thet equa-distant from each other. The example is bolts on a flange.
Thanks,

Hi Doug,
You are probably looking for radial arrays. Here is how to use the Rotate tool to make a copy:

and here how to make equally spaced, multiple copies:
