Draft Circular Array Tool in FreeCAD

In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to master the Circular Array tool within the FreeCAD Draft Workbench. This tool allows you to create patterns of concentric circles and precisely arrayed objects with ease. What You’ll Learn: • How to set up a basic circular array. • The difference between Radial and Tangential distance properties. • How to manipulate the number of circles and symmetry. • Changing object orientation and arraying around different axes (X, Y, and Z). • Offsetting the center point for custom placements.
