Help! I am on a tight schedule to get my Patented prototype heatsink ready for production. I am trying to fit more heat fins on the heatsink. Right now I have only 52 fins, I need 96+. The fin patterns are in a circular pattern on a square block. I cant get autoCAD to segment the concentric circle pattern more than 4 times. I need to segmet the circular pattern 8 times. The circles lie within the square box so it makes it very difficult to surther segment the circles. Any suggestions?

Are you using the divide command? If so, divide the circle into more parts.

Are you simply using the linetype Hidden? If so, change LTSCALE to a smaller number.

Why not make a sector equal to
45 degrees trim the circles
and then array the pattern?

What's your fin thickness and circle diameter?
