        I was talking to anyone πŸ˜„ I have tried this before awhile ago and now again, but have never been able to get it to work.

        I'm not doing it for any specific project. Just want to know how to do it as the occasion arises.

        Thanks for your help πŸ˜„

        oh, just trying to do a circular array of any ole' object πŸ˜„

          Here's a little tutorial. The methode is the same for linear or radial arrays.
          Hope it helps.

          If you don't know where you're going, you're never going to get there.

            Thanks, Susan, Gidon, Edson.

            I had tried this before but could'nt really get the hang of it. I have a project to draw a fountain that will involve lots of concentric circular arrays. I can't wait to get on with it now! I'd struggle to draw a box if it wasn't for this forum.

              bravo, gidon. much more precise than the one i posted above.

              the same principles explained by gidon in his tut on linear arrays apply to radial ones: just instead of a distance one would enter an angle.

                or start the copy/rotate by hand, snap to an endpoint on the circle and then hit the x-something or /-something... Good to create radial arrays that perfectly align to your (customly segmented) circles.

                    Good for you, Tina!
                    I don't know if you did a linear array or a circular array so I thought I'd add a circular array tutorial just to be on the safe side.

                    If you don't know where you're going, you're never going to get there.

                        Thanks again Gidon. I did the circular array. I just wasn't typing the "formula" in the right order. Very cool, I'm exciting. This will make placing corbels on a turret MUCH easier!

                              BTW Tina, are there really turrets (over) there? Here I could show you a real 12th century corbel though...
