Circular Pattern without features rotating?

Do you know what I mean? rotate the location of the feature but the
patterned features remain at the same orientation as the original feature.
Is there a way? Using 2005.


thanks,
Jeff

 

You know I swear there was an option for that. Apparently not. It IS
available in AutoCAD.

I tried it. It rotates the sketch entities as well. (unless I'm not seeing
an option somewhere).

 

Try again what Dale said:

Make a point sketch, and do a Circular Step and Repeat. Close the sketch.

Now create the feature you want to array.

Then pick Insert -> Pattern/Mirror -> Sketch Driven Pattern, pick your
feature and your previous sketch....

Oh I misunderstood Dale's instructions. I created a profile of the feature
and then did a Circular Step & Repeat. I will try again.
Thanks.

You can make a curve driven pattern.....draw a circle and use it as
curve....choose between tangent to curve or aligned to seed
should work. I think this is the setting Your'e looking for, Corey

Look up Curve Driven Pattern - that's where it is.
