There are several ways of accomplishing this. This is one way that worked for me in Affinity Photo 2. This is for 14 segments (almost any number of segments can be used). I chose 14 segments because I needed seven segments in a half circle. More on this later. Select the Cog Tool Draw a (Cog) circle (hold Shift to draw a perfect circle with matching height and width if required) Settings Teeth: 14 Inner radius: 70% Hole radius: 70% Tooth size: 100% Notch size: 0% Curvature: 0% Click Convert to Curves in the top toolbar Layer > Geometry > Divide After dividing the cog, the circle (cog) is gone and I now have 14 new layers, each representing one segment of the circular bar chart I need. I only needed seven of the segments to be seen in a half circle, so I hid the other seven layers. In my case I wanted each segment to have a unique color. So, I clicked on each layer one by one and changed the color. Because I wanted separation between each segment I chose to add a white Stroke to each segment which would match the white background I was using to visuall add separation. I chose 30 pts because this is a large (8,000 x8,000 px) circle and that amount of separation looked good for this use. Tune your stroke pt weight for your needs.

I took the plunge and bought a V2 perpetual license to go with my V1 perpetual license. Now I'll be able to get new features as they're rolled out since V1's perpetual software will no longer get updates. I gotta remember this workaround for lifetime licensing if I ever sell an application. I hope in V2 Photo I can type a font name in the drop down and not have it crash like V1 does. Fixing just that might be worth the $99.

I get it. So, the perpetual license isn't. Since no new features will be added perpetual is semi-perpetual as the software is being abandoned for a new version. Nice workaround to selling something once. When I purchased the first version of Affinity Photo and Design the implication was that I would have them for life. Since that's not the case due to the new way Affinity has worked out getting profits I have zero recourse other than to join the world of annual licensing fees and buy Version 2 (which is advertised on the site), and now it looks like there's a version 3. So, do I save money and NOT buy V2 and instead buy V3? Then next year buy V4 of my perpetual (lifetime license)... Sigh, at least for now Affinity doesn't completely overcharge like Adobe does.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I thought I originally bought lifetime access to Affinity Photo and Designer. And I've always received regular updates. Does this mean that Affinity is forking the applications? (V1 and V2) And that "V1" will no longer be updated? Or will I continue to get lifetime of use and updates as I thoguht I was getting from my original purchase? Chris

Hello, Is there a V2 Universal license available if I already own a license to Photo and Designer? Thank you, Chris
