Patterned Tubes

Patterned Tubes

Patterned Tubes

(OP)
I have 14 short bands 1" in depth. all these bands will wrap around a rod and I need a 2" space between each band.

The command brings up and reads there is no Axis to refer to to pattern the bands before I put them onto the rod.

Where can I fix a axis onto my bands to do a linear constant design?

RE: Patterned Tubes

Do yourself a favour and place the 'view temporary axes' button on your toolbar (along with the 'view orgins' button)
