How to automatic insert circles

How to automatic insert circles

Anonymous

Hi,

I am very new to AutoCAD, we are using in in class, as well as I am trying to make something for my self.  Now my problem, I have created a drawing of a jig, consisting of 4 plates/elevations length and width is around 600mm X 400mm, with only differences in outer shape dimensions, where each elevation has lines that are 25mm apart in both X and Y direction, which means that they cross each other every 25mm. I would like a 7mm circle to be automatically drawn at each cross point. Otherwise I will have to draw 414 circles, in 4 drawings/elevations.

 

Is this possible?

 

Regards

Gremling

Hi, I could not get it to work with fillet commands, all I ended up with was bent lines.

Below is an attached image of a part in the project. I want the circles to appear in every place where the white lines cross each other, circles to be preferably 7 to 8mm, The same is the case for the other elevations/levels.

Ah, I see. You need to try another command - ARRAY.
In your case you need to select Rectangular option to create rectangular ARRAY with row and column spaces you need.
