Hi,

I am drawing a complete semicircle. I would like to partition it into various parts. Foe example 48, 64, 72 etc... Is there an easy way to do this so that all the segments are of equal value?

Thanks

G

Hi Ed

>>so that all the segments are of equal value?

You might try creating a construction point at angle zero and using the polar array to create copies.

Once you get your locations, you can use the Segment at Location tool to divide of the circle.

There is also the Segment at Interval which will divide up the circle into XX equal segments lengths.
