Default Replicator Help!

Me again....

I drew two ellipse's. ( I held down the ctrl key while I drew them).
Centered them.

Then, I drew another ellipse. (The one I replicated) 18 degrees, Z axis, 20 copies.

Here is what happend.

The circles are not centered in the ellipses.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

P.s. Just registered the software! GREAT Stuff, Andy!

Hi --- great stuff you've been doing here BTW - I love the wax molds

I was able to reproduce the effect you were going for, but I couldn't get the skew that you got. I've attached an image of my results below.

Here are the exact steps I took --- this seems to be similar to the steps you took, but perhaps you can see where they differ from yours:

1. Create an ellipse by clicking once (rather than click+dragging) in the Front view. The ellipse I chose had 32 points.

2. Click "Move to" to move the eclipse to x0 y3.5 z0.

3. Under tools->replicator, make 19 copies, rotated 18 degrees.

4. Create another ellipse (again by clicking rather than click+dragging) and move it to 0,0,0. Resize it on the corner holding down the Ctrl key so it sizes proportionally.

HTH

Dennis,
Yes, it works your way...
Why it came out my way, I have no idea?
Maybe because, I copied my ellipses?

Thanks for the kind comments on my wax stuff...
I will be posting more as I get more proficient.
