Circular pattern curves without rotation

[RhysMog]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to create a circular pattern from a set of curves that does not require the curves themselves to rotate? Basically I want to translate a rectangle to 36 points around a circle (10 degrees apart) without changing the angle of the rectangle's sides. I have to do this hundreds of times, so this would be a real time saver!

Thanks

Use the "same as input" orientation option.

Thanks for the reply cowski. Is that option under pattern curve, elsewhere in sketcher or somewhere entirely different? I have so far been using Edit > Move Object to create copies of the curves, but "same as input" isn't contained in there...

It can be found in the "pattern" commands (pattern feature, pattern face, pattern geometry, etc).

Is this available in NX7.5? I probably should have mentioned my version beforehand...

NO.
