How to create arranged object on sphere

[Anonymous]

I want to create arranged cylinders on sphere but I couldn't find any available command in AutoCad. And also, If possible, hexagonal close-packing is better. Anybody have some idea about it?

Good morning kuwae,

 Welcome to the Forums!

Have you played with the ARRAY command? I think that might get you started. Here is a link to the AKN Article that describes the command.

Hi kuwae,

I haven't seen an update on your post so I thought I would check back. I hope you have looked at the ARRAY and 3D polar array options.  I also found this post out on the web that might help as well.

Please post your results so other community users can benefit.
