So make sure you're in the home tab on the ribbon, and we're going to go to the modify panel, click on the array flyout there, and select polar array. Now, the objects that we're going to array are going to be these two lines and this arc here, right click or enter to confirm, and it'll ask you for the centerpoint of the array. Make sure that that's the center snap here, make sure your object snaps are on, obviously, and you'll notice that it always defaults to six, which doesn't line up with what we want, so i'm going to go to the items panel on the array creation tab that's come up on…
