How to make Dynamic Block radial array

Hi guys, I have attached a file, that shows blocks developed in radial pattern. Although not very accurate in the file, I want to know a method where I can convert it to dynamic block radial array. Else it is taking me lots of time to manually copy ,paste and adding the blocks in a row. Any solution is highly appreciated!, Thanks!

In your example file I see only a chaos: 

- some blocks seem (for me) to be placed on the wrong layer: Block 30x55 on layer 35x55 and some blocks 35x55 on layer 30x55. 

- each of the "rows" includes (more or less randomly mixed) different blocks. 

- In each of the "rows" are different (randomly?) number of items (7, 9, 8, 11, 10)

- the imaginary circles where the "rows" are placed don't share a common center point.

- the distances from one of the circles to the next circle are different 

- the "rows" are placed anywhere on the "circles". I can't recognize no commonality (or common property). 

 

For me are absolutely no rules to recognize, which blocks, where (radial distance and where placed at the circle), how much and in which order, should be "arranged". 

Even if you can describe some "rules", I'm afraid this will be not to solve with dyn.  block. 

Nevertheless if you tell us what you have and what you want to achieve we find perhaps another way to solve your problem.

Hi, sorry for the late response, I have made a simple drawing for our discussion. Two layers of plots one in yellow colour and the other in magenta or purple colour. I wanted to make them radial dynamic block with array. Need help in that.

used the double lookup up method to create

How to Make a Double Lookup - Autodesk Community - AutoCAD

 

Takes a bit work to setup with mutiple viz states, but once complete can reuse

I have left the viz state and rotate glyphs visible but you could turn either off by setting number of grips to 0 so that you can control either by number or by angle as desired. Just tested block and noticed the angle grip doesn't work. Would probably worked if swapped data in the double lookup

block not perfect but will give you an idea to create

 

see the one in the circle with arrow pointing to it

@wr.marshall 

As I understand the issue, the problem is not the polar/circular array (green arrow in my attached image). To solve that there are several ways.

But for a radial array along the red arrow while changing the geoemetry of the shape I see no way. 

(But perhaps I misunderstood the challenge ?)

Couldn't double look up method be used to resolve this too? have option for layer 1(purple brick), Layer 2 (yellow brick), layer 3(red brick), layer 4(green brick)..... I assume these are brick pavers

Let's wait and see what the author ( @madhuryya_prakash )  has to say ... 😉
