Looking for automatically Circular Offset

[SphaeroX]

Is there a way to make it easier if you have, for example, over 50 circles? Or do you have to do it manually?

I was thinking of some kind of automatic arrangement or at least that you can create a macro that automatically makes an offset 50x and always increases the offset value by 2mm.

You can do it using the API.  It's best to ask on the API forum.

This comes into my mind:

But note that in regard to number of  it is not parametric.

Also maybe it can be modified to be more streamlined.

i wrote i little simple script for that, thanks for help!

#Author-SphaeroX
#Description-creates multiple circles around a base circle with a defined spacing

import adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam, traceback

def run(context):
    ui = None
    try:
        app = adsk.core.Application.get()
        ui  = app.userInterface
        #ui.messageBox('Hello script 1')
        
        #doc = app.documents.add(adsk.core.DocumentTypes.FusionDesignDocumentType)
        circleBase = ui.inputBox("Basis Durchmesser eingeben: ", "Basis Durchmesser")
        circleBase = float(circleBase[0])
        circleBase = (circleBase / 10) / 2
        #ui.messageBox(circleBase)

        circleCount = ui.inputBox("Anzahl der Kreise: ", "Kreisanzahl")
        circleCount = int(circleCount[0])
        circleCount = circleCount - 1

        circleDistance = ui.inputBox("Abstand der Kreise: ", "Kreis Abstand")
        circleDistance = int(circleDistance[0])
        circleDistance = circleDistance / 10

        design = app.activeProduct

        # Get the root component of the active design.
        rootComp = design.rootComponent

        # Create a new sketch on the xy plane.
        sketches = rootComp.sketches
        xyPlane = rootComp.xYConstructionPlane
        sketch = sketches.add(xyPlane)

        # Draw some circles.
        circles = sketch.sketchCurves.sketchCircles

        circle1 = circles.addByCenterRadius(adsk.core.Point3D.create(0, 0, 0), circleBase)

        for x in range(circleCount):
            circleBase = circleBase + circleDistance
            circles.addByCenterRadius(adsk.core.Point3D.create(0, 0, 0), circleBase)


    except:
        if ui:
            ui.messageBox('Failed:\n{}'.format(traceback.format_exc()))

Hi,

For a flat construction you could also do it like this
