Full Version: Increment numbers on circular array

Show messages:  1-12  13-23

I agree Flow would be a good approach, I haven't tried Elephant so I don't know if the Flow command can be used with it.

I set the numbers in Illustrator Tabs using unwrapped circle.

This looks excellent.

I wonder if there is any tiny distortion in the numbers?

"I wonder if there is any tiny distortion in the numbers?"

Not if you check Rigid in the Flow command. In this case even without using Rigid the distortion is minor.

Thank you guys - most impressive response and (very) helpful. Suspect I am going to have to spend some time climbing a very steep learning curve!
This software is awesome in its power, but as Frenchy says you do need daily training!!
In particular thank you Barry for the .nod file. It looks like it does what I want - just have to work out what all the knobs and sliders do !!
Regards

Hi Barry,


Excellent work on the node editor! Can the node be modified for text rotation? I made this perpetual calendar. The Cad/Cam software being used was difficult to get it right.

Thank you,

Wayne

Hi Wayne,
see update have tidied up the nod into a Macro so text & dial rotation for alignment are adjustable.

Nice result Wayne! Really like your design.

Hi Barry-H,

Thanks for sharing your Node.
But I've got a quick question for you:
How to change the starting number? for example how to change it to 1 instead of 0?

Best,
Psygorn

Hi Psygorn,
open the macro and find the progression node and set the base to 1 instead of 0.
Cheers
Barry
