Hello there.

I would like to use circular array for a design that I have, but I can not find the tool. How do I get to it, or is there a special way to do this????



Thank you in advance

Jorge

I can not believe they have this (circular array) as a
XForm Rotate.

Cheers.

(I can not believe they have this (circular array) as a
XForm Rotate.) why do you say that.

[jorgehrr]

I guess because I was looking for an specific tool for "circular array" just like they have for rectangular. (I still have auto cad in my head)

My fault.

Is there a way to do a circular array of an operation ? Like say a key way 6 times around a circle ? (instead of making an operation 6 times)

Toolpath > Transform > Rotate

Toolpath > Transform > Rotate

Im not quite sure how to use the rotate. I need the toolpath arrayed around the center of my piece 5 times evenly around 360.

[txcncman]

On the Rotate tab, input the number of times you want the selected toolpath to be rotated, the number of degrees, and center of rotation.

Do as you did then go to the next page you want to set if not the center of your part the rotation center. then set as follows. I did this in X4 as it looked closer to your version you posted. as you did not say what version and they have changed it many times.Adding more option.
