I just need a circle with lots of radii equally spaced.
WTF
I don't know how to do it and good isn't helping.

shit
circle -> dia = 27" polyline from top center to bottom center mirror polyline at whatever angles gives you the proper # of spokes.
or are you trying to do this in 3D? 1/13/2011 11:47:39 PM |

polar array w/number of objects is waaaaaaaaaaaaay easier and faster 1/14/2011 12:56:13 AM |

make one endpoint of each radius the center of the circle
then for n radii, in a circle of radius r centered at the origin, where one radius is in the positive x-direction, the other endpoint for the jth radius is at
(r*cos(2pi*j/n), r*sin(2pi*j/n))
where j ranges from 1 to n
then rotate and translate the whole thing to wherever you need it 1/14/2011 1:00:25 AM |

After you have the spkes, draw some circles for the hub and trim all the lines in the middle of that circle. 1/14/2011 8:50:36 AM |

Polar array. just draw one spoke and polar array helps you copy and rotate it, you just tell it how many copies you want and choose a point to rotate the spoke around. gl. 1/14/2011 9:06:00 AM |

Took my longer to upload than to draw.
Draw a big circle Draw a small circle Draw a horizontal line through the middle draw a vertical line through the middle Draw a chord from each of the previously drawn lines (i.e. inscribe a square in the big circle) Draw a line from the midpoint of each chord through the middle of the circle Draw a chord to each of the new lines (ie draw a 12 sided polygon inside the big circle) Draw a line from the midpoint of each of those chords through the middle of the cirlce Delete construction lines Trim all lines in the middle of the small circle.

don't listen to these jokers about polar array... i just tried it and i think it divided by zero or something
