Pattern sketch object
Pattern sketch object
(OP)
Is it possible to pattern a sketch or object within a sketch?
I wish to create a circular pattern of radial lines like a clock dial in 2D.
I can do it in drawing mode and in 3D part.

RE: Pattern sketch object
If you are running a current enough version of SE you can create both the sketch pattern and the radial line in the same sketch. Then use the sketch pattern to pattern the curve.
RE: Pattern sketch object
if your intention is to do that in 2D-Draft then yes, you can do that.
- draw your line
- select it
- on the toolbar the cicular pattern should become activated, click it
- on the ribbon bar set the number of occurrences
and specify the sweep angle (<= 360)
now the pattern will follow your mouse, when satisfied --> LMB
and Finish.
Note: it's not a true pattern it's just a group of that lines
when the Function circular/rectangular pattern is not available
RMB in free space within one toolbar --> RMB --> Cutomize
--> Toolbars --> Drawing
select it and Drag & Drop it on a toolbar of your choice

--> Toolbars --> Drawing
select the icon and Drag & Drop it on a toolbar of your choice
