How do I create a concentric pattern??
How do I create a concentric pattern??
(OP)
Please help me. I am a ProE user who is just learning SW and loving every minute. What I am trying to do is trivial in Pro but I can't figure it out in SW.
What I'm trying to do is create a pattern of concentric annular thin cuts similar to growth rings on a tree or ripples in a pond.
Ideally I would like the rings to be segments of a circle.
Thanks in advance.

RE: How do I create a concentric pattern??
You will probably be able to use the Vary Sketch option under the Insert > Pattern?Mirror > Linear Pattern function.

Thanks for the file. It was quite helpful, however, I have one more question.
I would like to have the controlling dimension be a diameter instead of a radius but the pattern dialog isn't happy with diameters.
Thanks a bunch

1) By using the "mirror about a centreline" feature when placing the dimension.
2) By dimensioning a centreline which is constrained mid point to the origin.
