    To the expert...

    Apologies to the last respondant... my inbox got cleared.

    When a hole extrusion is placed on a surface, it is easy to create a radial
    pattern because references become polar.
    When a rectangular extrusion is placed on a surface it gets cartesian
    coords, and patterns are assumed to be of a square array type.

    How can a radial pattern of rectangles be produced?

    Thanks

    Search Google groups for the original:

    "Datum on the fly should do fine. (Through axis, Angle)
    Just make sure all dimensions and contrains are referenced to "on the
    fly Datum" and Axis for radial pattern.

    ----------------
    WF or WF2 (as per previous post)?

    WF: you'll need a rotational dimension to seed the pattern (or so I
    remember).
    WF2: drop down pick "Axis" and specify the axis to rotate about.
