@SPlatten never the less, let me answer you,

you're looking for pattern -> circular pattern

also available when do sketches

😉
Moved it to the lounge section, fits better here, as its not Qt related 😜

What is the name of the tool or function that I can use to generate an automatic number of rotated sketches at specific angles around a path?

Explain what you mean. I imagine you're looking for QTransform, but I don't truly understand the question (I'm a bit on the slow side).

@kshegunov , what I meant was how do I convert the sketch in the image in my post so that it is replicated at intervals around the circle. So the end result is N number of sketches around the circle at a specified angle and interval.

sketch in the image

Do you mean the square thing?

The equation of a circle is:
x^2 + y^2 = R^2 where in polar coordinates: x = R cos(alpha), y = R cos(alpha) if alpha is the angle. So it should be rather trivial to determine the positions I think.

@kshegunov , square thing? Where are you looking, in the image there is a circular solid block and on that there is a sketch of an arc which represents a shape I want to replicate around the circle.

I'm asking if there is a tool in Fushion 360 that allows me to specify the angle, space and number of copies I want of the sketch.

If this is some specialized software, why ask in a Qt forum?

@kshegunov , OMG, sorry, wrong forum completely!

@J-Hilk , thank you, just got the same answer from the Autodesk Fushion 360 forum :)

Since when?

You may've not noticed, but I'm very sarcastic (also pretty vulgar). Usually I try to keep it in check around the forum, though. :)
