circles in an arc
circles in an arc
(OP)
hello evryone
I am still using R14 and i need to get a series of circles to follow an elipse. they represent rivit detail on a drawing i am doing.
Any ideas on how i do this? its hgot me completly stumped. i have tried polar arrays but that only works in a circle not in an elipse. i can draw the elipse as a line, can i get the circles to follow the line?
If not can i do it in autocad 2006? (i am upgrading after christmas!)

try "_divide" or "_measure"...

I have used measure before but not divide.
I will have a play tonight.

Measure worked fine.
Once again as with many things in autocad its dead easy once you know the command!
