Pulley question... - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

I'm trying to make a pulley in AutoCad 2006. Basicaly a 3" diameter cylinder, with 1/8" diameter cylinders center on the outside edge, with a 1/8" gap inbetween each cylinder. I'm going to use the small cylinders to "cut" the teeth of the pulley. I've tried the Revolve command, and I don't think that's what it's for. I could place them myself, but I need them to be exact, and it's awfully time consuming. I can usually get by pretty decent with AutoCad, but this one has me stumped! Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

WilliamD,
I think the command that you want is "array" "polar"

I haven't figured out the # that you will need to put in and of course the center of the 3" circle will be the center of the array.

Yep polar array, with 38 I think.
