Circular Array

Cancel: dismiss.
Apply: create the array.

Duplicate the selection around a center point. Configurable count, radius, angle span, and rotation.

The Circular Array dialog duplicates the selected objects in a circular pattern. Useful for radial designs, gear teeth, decorative bezels.

When it opens

Menu: Arrange → Circular Array, with at least one object selected.

Field	Type	Notes
Count	number, 2–100	Number of copies (including the original).
Radius	current Display Unit, min equivalent of 0.1 mm	Distance from center to each copy. Stored internally in mm.

Field	Type	Notes
Center Mode	select	Auto (use selection center), Object (use another object's center), or Explicit (typed X/Y).
Center Object	dropdown	Only if mode = Object. Requires at least two shapes to pick from.
Explicit X / Y	current Display Unit	Only if mode = Explicit. Stored internally in mm.

Field	Type	Notes
Start Angle	degrees, -360 to 360	Where the first copy goes. 0° = right of center.
End Angle	degrees, -360 to 720	End of the angular span. A difference of 360° from Start Angle makes a full ring; a smaller difference makes an arc.
Step angle	display only	Derived from count and angle range.
Rotate Copies	toggle	Rotate each copy to face along its radius.

Field	Type	Notes
Group Results	toggle	Wrap the copies in a group.
Create Virtual Array	toggle	Create separate source-linked `VirtualClone` copies instead of independent geometry.

The source object is moved to the first circular position; the remaining positions are new copies.
A virtual result is not a single parametric array object. Count, radius, center, and angles cannot be edited after creation; undo and recreate the array to change them.
