Re: polar array axis change
You can hover the mouse over the point in the middle of the tube (Edge.Vertex2) and read the coordinates from the status bar. Enter these coordinates in the Center properties of the array. In your case it would be sufficient to change the Y value, because Z is zero anyway and Y is in axial direction.
