Is there a way to make a circular array of bodies.  For instance.  If I have a  20 mm long cylinder with an axis at a 45 degree angle from the horizontal plain and I want to make several of these bodies, maybe a dozen, so that a line through all the axes will converge at some point above the bodies.

is this what you're looking for? If so, just create the body and then use a circular pattern with the number of bodies and distance to your liking. Then drawing the line from the center of each cylinder to the point where all lines meet.circular array.PNG

Yep.  The missing ingrediant for me was that there is a circular pattern under create.  I had only used the one under sketch, and I could'nt figure out how to make that work with bodies.  

 

Got it now though.  Thanks.
