Radial Points dialog

 See also:  Creating Radial Points

This command offers a quick method of creating a set of points around a cylinder.

Equal Spacing - Check to place all the points around the cylinder at regular intervals.

Number of Points - Specifies the number of radial points required.

Angle - Specifies the radial angle between each point.

Initial Angle - Specifies the angle at which to place the first point in the set.

Radius - Specifies the radius of the wrap.

Axis - Used with the Radius parameter to specify the axis the points are to be wrapped around. If a line or unwrapped envelope has been digitised, Axis is unused.

Once you click on the OK button, you are prompted to "Digitise the centre position of the Radial Points". You can do this by selecting an entity that lies along the selected wrap axis or through co-ordinate input.
