Duplicate a sketch figure equally spaced in a circular array

Duplicate a sketch figure equally spaced in a circular array

This section explains how to duplicate 2D sketch geometry in a circular arrangement by specifying the angular interval and the number of instances.

Use Case:

  1. Duplicating gear teeth evenly around a circle
  2. Duplicating identical holes spaced evenly in a circular pattern
  3. Creating serration shapes
Notes
You can create a circular pattern of your 2D sketch geometry by setting the angle between copies and the total number of copies, enabling precise and uniform duplication around a center point or axis.

Procedure:

[1] Create sketch and draw shapes.
Then click [Circular Pattern] in the [Sketch] tab.

[2] Select geometry, then set [Pattern Number], [Angle Spacing], [Radius], and [Arc Angle].

[3] Click [OK].
