Polar Array problem
Polar Array problem
(OP)
I'm trying to make a polar array from an existing object, 17 objects at a little less than one degree apart.
DS will let me make the array just fine if I give a positive number for the angle, but unfortunately the base object is at the CCW end of where I want to place the array.
DS will not accept a negative number for the angle between objects; the numerical entry box goes pink and DS will proceed no further. ISTR that AutoCAD will accept a negative angle as a 'direction' command for polar arrays.
So, how do I tell DS to put the new objects in a CW direction from the existing object?

DS, like SW, presupposes that you are going to do everything in the Gallic manner imagined by some programmer who doesn't know squat about making a drawing.
