As it stands, this spoke is currently on the 2D spokes layer, so let's create a new layer for that. I'll go to that 2D spokes layer, select it, create a new layer called -Spokes, and I will set that layer current, and I will also change the layer of this as existing object, so I'll click on it, come over here and change its layer assignment in properties to the 3D version. There we have it, and I'll press the Escape key to deselect. Now, what I need to do is copy this around using an array, so that we can get spokes on the lower flange. So, I'll type ar, for array, enter. Click on the spoke, enter, and I need a polar array, and now I'd like to array that around the center of the transmission, but there's nothing I can snap to there. Fortunately, we have the 2D rims layer on, and these circles all have the same…
