Angular Arrays

[Otter9314]

I am trying to draw a flange and copy bolt holes in an angular pattern. I
cannot figure out how to copy these bolt holes equidistant from one another
in a 360 degree pattern. Does Visio 2002 Pro have this capability?

You need to delve into VBA to do this, but thanks to Chris Roth, there is
some sample VBA code at
http://www.mvps.org/visio/VBA.htm (called Polar Array) that will clone and
distribute the selected shape in a circular pattern. The program prompts for
the number of occurrences, radius and starting angle.
