Simple arithmetic to calculate
there is nothing else than alibre neccessary to solve this!it's a bit more awkward and involved in parameterizing,

I guess that just goes to show that great minds don't necessarily always think alike.
Yes. (If you use a -patterndistance which is the half of the whole you can "fake" odd numbers, but that's not a clean way...)So only even numbers of items are possible?
I guess my approach is different in that I either (A) "bore" (with Forstner bites hole that are a nominal 1/64 inch larger than the shanks for each size of endmill or (B) make a plastic pipe "case for "sets" of endmills (etc.) that can be closed up with a "pipe cap" bored out for the "set" I may need to carry with me. -- LewI was trying to make an organizer for endmills --- worked it out in a different way though:
