[PCB_FORUM] radial or polar pin placement

Hi all,

Perhaps there are some of you also doing probe cards...

How do you place a radial array of pins in a symbol?

The system provides a radial copy, with a count and increment.  of course this 
wont work, due to accumulated error of the incremental method.
What I am looking for, is a function similar to autocad's radial array, where 
you give it the pin count (140 in my case) and the angle to fill, (360).

This places the objects evenly around the circle of a given diameter.  

How do you guys do it?

It would be a great feature to add to Allegro, along with the capability for a 
polar grid.

Thanks,

Randy
