I don't even know what to search for, so here goes. I want to draw a circle of a fixed diameter. Then I want to draw radial lines from the center of the circle out to the circumference, but I want the distance between each radial line at the circumference to be a fixed distance.
So in basic terms, draw a circle 4 inches in diameter. That part is easy as is the center point annotation. Then I want to draw a line from the center of the circle to the circumference and then repeat that line every 1/4 inch on the circumference.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Radial lines on a circle.

1/4" will not add up ...

Re: Radial lines on a circle.
Draw..Circle..Center, Diameter (CA) and enter diameter, option middle.
Draw..Line..Line from 2 points (LI) option line segment
Snap auto or Snap to Center (SC) and select center.
Snap auto or Snap On Entity (ST) and select the circle where you would like it.
If it fills the circle fully then this implements that the angle is a whole part of 360 degrees.
Draw one repeat it with Modify..Rotate multiples with that angle.
Otherwise:
Draw one
Draw..Circle..Center, Radius (CR) and enter distance, option middle.
Select as center the intersection of the firts radial with the circumference.
The two new intersections are at the wanted distance.

Re: Radial lines on a circle.
Yep exactly what I was looking for. As for not adding up, probably not on a 4" circle, that was just an example. I haven't done the math yet to actually find a circumference that is a multiple of 1/4.

Ok, that will work. Thanks.CVH wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 5:48 pmDraw..Circle..Center, Diameter (CA) and enter diameter, option middle.
