    Copying a object around a axis?

    In auto can you can use a array command to copy a object and array it around a axis. How can I do that in XR? It's similar to the hole command in XR.

    Paul in this example you just:
    1) Select Object to array
    2) Edit>Rotate>
    3) Enter number of copies (this example = 6)
    4) Seect "Rotate around a line
    5) Select angle to rotate, in this case it would be 360/6 = 60 degrees
    5) Click OK
    6) Select the line/axis to copy around

    Rotate

    Paul,

    Using the same funcition you can alos choose to rotate around a variety of locations, point, coordinate etc.
