Grid linear & radial sharing/copy (http://www.cocreateusers.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4926)
I've got some case where I need to do a spiral sharing of tools to substrat a shape around a cylindre. What I'm doing now is sharing the part in linear than rotate them one by one at the right angle (Select all of them, rotate, apply, remove one in the list, rotate apply...)
It's a simple n*TR1 + n*R sharing using a basename, where TR is the translation along a direction and R is the rotation along the same axis and n is the sequence of the part share (first part = 1, second part = 2...).
To make it more complete, we can say n*TR1 +n*TR2 + n*R, where TR2 is an other translation that will allow the share arround a cone. Please note that the rotation is the last operation... to keep the orientation of the part regarding the cylindre/cone
Or simply get a share function that allow us to repeat a set of transformation many time. That will open the door the very complicated sharing pathern!
So if we combine this with a grid sharing, that will be cool!
