Create Circular Pattern Example (JS)

# Create Circular Pattern Example (JavaScript)

This example creates a circular pattern of Circles in a DraftSight drawing. Start DraftSight. Using the following form, specify the parameters for the circular pattern: Type the angle between the base points of the pattern entities and the center of the pattern in Angle between pattern entities. This field is only valid if you selected Angle between and total number of elements or Fill angle and angle between elements for Pattern. Type a positive or negative value for Fill angle. The default for the angle to fill is 360° - a full circle pattern. A value of 0 is not allowed. The pattern is drawn counterclockwise for positive angles and clockwise for negative angles. This field is only valid if you selected Fill angle and angle between elements or Fill angle and total number of elements for Pattern. Type the total number of pattern entities, including the source entity in Number of pattern entities. Type the x coordinate of the base point of the pattern in Base point x. Type the y coordinate of the base point of the pattern in Base point y. Type the x coordinate of the center point of the pattern in Axis point x. Type the y coordinate of the center point of the pattern in Axis point y. Select Pattern entities about axis to rotate the entities as they are patterned, or leave this check box clear to align the entities to the source entity. Click Insert. Examine the drawing.
