holes in spiral line

Post by rstergar »

Hi,

Need help on cuting holes in spiral line for one circle...

I created two cubes and then in Draft select Polar array with 180 angle and Interval Axis X -0,2 to get it but it is not ok..

I test it with real spiral line and see that holes doesnt go like it shoud...see image

How to create this holes on real spiral?

Thank you

Look at the documentation linked above and the Alignment section.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

it seems that the supported plane for referencing cubes is not perpendicular to spiral axis, it creates a obal efect on cubes pattern
