A better way to make this pattern

Anonymous

So I am only really starting to get used to Fusion and there are many headaches I can normally resolve from answers here or tutorials. However I just cant seem to find a good way to draw this.

 

I am trying to make 5, even width strips between an offset line and a fixed line. I did manage it but there must be a better way. I wasn't able to edit easily or even re-create.

 

Attached is a screenshot of the dumb way I did it and one of the end result. I drew 3 point tangent lines, start at the offset, end at the inside line and then adjusted the curve to eye. Then defined the spacing. Mirrored on a centre line for the other side.

 

Please let me know if there is further information you require.

 

Thanks in advance

Here's one way to do it:

The circles could be trimmed to reduce clutter, but that isn't necessary to create the slots.  Adding more slots is just a matter of incrementing multipliers for 'Separation' and 'SlotWidth' parameters.

Here is another way to do it. Perhaps dirty... But hey, I'm just a hobbyist 😉
