table-driven circular pattern?

table-driven circular pattern?

table-driven circular pattern?

(OP)
I want to create a pattern of fins radiating out from a common axis, but the fins are not equally spaced in the angular dimension. I thought I could create a table-driven pattern with a list of angles, but it seems the only option for the table is a list of X-Y coordinates. Is there a way to provide a list of angles instead? Any other ideas for creating this pattern?

RE: table-driven circular pattern?

apoynot,

I don't think you can create a pattern that way using the pattern tool.

You can create a sketch, and use a design table to control the angle. Since this is fins, you can use the gusset feature, rather than extrude.
