Radial copy

[Steve Thackery]

I've been wrestling with TurboCAD recently and it's a complete nightmare
compared with Visio. It is just so incredibly complicated! The learning
curve is like Everest, and it's as user-friendly as a bear trap.

But, it does do something Visio won't: the radial copy. I've got to draw
lots of gear wheels, so I want to draw one tooth and then do a radial copy
around the perimeter of the wheel.

Does anyone know of an add-in (or some other special technique) for Visio
which would make radial copies feasible? (Or perhaps an add-on which draws
gear wheels directly?).

Thanks,

Steve

Chris Roth our resident shape master has a VBA solution for that. Take a
look at "Polar Array" on http://visio.mvps.org/VBA.htm
