Adam Chalmers 1efc2b9762 KCL: Pattern repetitions now pattern instances (#4162)
Josh Gomez requests pattern calculations take the total number of instances,
not the number of extra repetitions to do. This is how we designed the
patternTransform API, but we didn't do that for patternLinear/Circular.

patternCircular2d Repeat a 2-dimensional sketch some number of times along a partial or manual

Repeat a 2-dimensional sketch some number of times along a partial or

complete circle some specified number of times. Each object may additionally be rotated along the circle, ensuring orentation of the solid with respect to the center of the circle is maintained.

patternCircular2d(data: CircularPattern2dData, sketch_set: SketchSet) -> [Sketch]

Arguments

Name Type Description Required
data CircularPattern2dData Data for a circular pattern on a 2D sketch. Yes
sketch_set SketchSet A sketch or a group of sketches. Yes

Returns

[Sketch]

Examples

       center: [0, 0],
       instances: 13,
       arcDegrees: 360,
       rotateDuplicates: true
     }, %)
