Array 7 perfectly tangential circles

Array 7 perfectly tangential circles.pdf

How can I array 7 perfectly tangential circles from an arbitrary size of a circle?

Please see the attached PDF file for more info.

I really appreciate any help.

Thanks

Draw a seven sided polygon with an edge length the same as the diameter of the circles. Then use the vertexes of the polygon as the centers of the circles.

Hi Lpseifert,

I'll try that. Thanks for your help.

Very nice. It worked like a charm! Thanks for your quick precise input Lpseifert

Since you are using 2010 or later you might also check into geometry constraints - you could change size and all would update.
