Circular Array Question

[Rodger]

When using the circular duplicate array command is there a way to have the array fill an angle instead of designating the # of items and the angle between each item? Basically, can VW's array function like AutoCAD's?

VectorWorks accepts math functions in the data entry fields, so if you want the array to fill a specified angle and you dont want to do the math, just enter the total angle divided by the number of copies in the angle field.

I.E. If you want 3 copies in a total of 45?, and don't want to figure out that the angle between them is 15?, just enter 45/3 in the angle field, and VW will do the math for you.

But I don't know how you could do this without first entering the number of copies. If you don't specify the number of copies, how would the VW know whether to fill your angle with 3 or 300 copies?

Hope this helps,

Peter
