"""Create a circular array from the given object.
|
|
|
|
Parameters
|
|
----------
|
|
obj: Part::Feature
|
|
Any type of object that has a `Part::TopoShape`
|
|
that can be duplicated.
|
|
|
|
r_distance: float, optional
|
|
It defaults to `100`.
|
|
Radial distance to the next ring of circular arrays.
|
|
|
|
tan_distance: float, optional
|
|
It defaults to `100`.
|
|
The tangential distance between two elements located
|
|
in the same circular ring.
|
|
The tangential distance together with the radial distance
|
|
determine how many copies are created.
|
|
|
|
number: int, optional
|
|
It defaults to 2.
|
|
The number of layers or rings of repeated objects.
|
|
The original object stays at the center, and is counted
|
|
as a layer itself. So, if you want at least one layer of circular
|
|
copies, this number must be at least 2.
|
|
|
|
symmetry: int, optional
|
|
It defaults to 1.
|
|
It indicates how many lines of symmetry the entire circular pattern
|
|
has. That is, with 1, the array is symmetric only after a full
|
|
360 degrees rotation.
|
|
|
|
When it is 2, the array is symmetric at 0 and 180 degrees.
|
|
When it is 3, the array is symmetric at 0, 120, and 240 degrees.
|
|
When it is 4, the array is symmetric at 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees.
|
|
Et cetera.
|
|
|
|
axis: Base::Vector3, optional
|
|
It defaults to `App.Vector(0, 0, 1)` or the `+Z` axis.
|
|
The unit vector indicating the axis of rotation.
|
|
|
|
center: Base::Vector3, optional
|
|
It defaults to `App.Vector(0, 0, 0)` or the global origin.
|
|
The point through which the `axis` passes to define
|
|
the axis of rotation.
|
|
|
|
use_link: bool, optional
|
|
It defaults to `True`.
|
|
If it is `True` the produced copies are not `Part::TopoShape` copies,
|
|
but rather `App::Link` objects.
|
|
The Links repeat the shape of the original `obj` exactly,
|
|
and therefore the resulting array is more memory efficient.
|
|
|
|
Also, when `use_link` is `True`, the `Fuse` property
|
|
of the resulting array does not work; the array doesn't
|
|
contain separate shapes, it only has the original shape repeated
|
|
many times, so there is nothing to fuse together.
|
|
|
|
If `use_link` is `False` the original shape is copied many times.
|
|
In this case the `Fuse` property is able to fuse
|
|
all copies into a single object, if they touch each other.
|
|
|
|
Returns
|
|
-------
|
|
Part::FeaturePython
|
|
A scripted object with `Proxy.Type='Array'`.
|
|
Its `Shape` is a compound of the copies of the original object.
