Helical Array
Helical Array
(OP)
Anyone know of a way to do a helical array? I have an assembly with 6 parts that are spaced a 1/2" apart in the X direction. The parts are also spaced @ 20 degrees about the centerline of a 2-3/8" diameter. I'm now modeling a body around the parts and need to make a pocket for each part. I have made a pocket for the first one and would like to do a circular pattern of the pocket but I need to apply another direction to it. Is this possible?
Thanks,

If it is something you do a lot of maybe you might think about doing some API coding and making a custom tool? Of course, if you are not able to do that for yourself you would have to find a progamming service - which would depend on how DEEP your pocket is...... sorry, could't resist that one
Here's another avenue to investigate. Is there any way to use user defined coordinate systems?
