Contour Pattern Tool – Create a Knurled Screw Head

In this ShapeAnywhere tutorial, I’ll show you how to use the Contour Pattern Tool to create repeated geometry along a contour. As a practical example, we’ll recreate the knurled head of a thumb screw step by step. You’ll see how a single profile can be distributed around a circular part to quickly create a repeating knurled pattern.
