Description
The 
Part LinkArrayPolar command creates a Link array from a selected object by placing copies in a polar pattern about the selected axis.
The command can be used on many 3D objects such as those created with the Part Workbench, but also on assembly instances created with the Assembly Workbench.
Usage
- Optionally select one object.
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the
Polar Link Array button. - Select the Part/Assembly → Link Arrays → Polar Link Array option from the menu.
- Press the
- The Polar Link Array task panel opens. See Options for more information.
- If you have not yet selected an object, press the Select Object button and select one object.
- Enter the required parameters in the task panel.
- Press the OK button to finish the command.
Options
- Select the axis about which the array will be created. It can be the X-, Y- or Z-axis, or a selected reference. Press the Reverse the direction of the pattern button to invert the pattern's direction about this axis.
- Select the Mode: Total Angle or Angular Spacing. See the Part Design Polar Pattern page for more details.
- Specify the Total Angle or Angular Spacing and enter the number of Occurrences.
- Press the Cancel button to abort the command.
