      I am new at drawing parametric deign equation based shapes so bare with me. My file (attached) shows the double nested component array of a simple object. To the left is the raw array, middle is the array rotated up, to the far right the array is shown falling apart once the dc is refreshed. Hidden to the right is text of exactly how I made the parametric shape. When I group the entire thing, and rotate it. The x y axis equations defining the position of the DC's seem to half reference the primary drawing axis and not the axis that travels within the group. The result is the items are placed to the old axis, while maintaining their original orientation. Am I doing something wrong (in 1,000 words or less 😉 I made some primitive work arounds to get what I wanted shown. Thanks ahead of time.

        Hi Brian,

        Initially posted a reply suggesting you place it into a wrapper component to protect your work, which would work, however realised more to this project.. added a review of your idea with some different code

        aside to this uploaded an array concept without using copies of rows for consideration for other projects

        hope it helps
