Shih Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I need to draw short lines inside a circle to split it into 15 equal parts, so 24 degree of each part. Can Affinity designer makes this work precisely? Thanks guys. For example, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazario Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Maybe not the best way but this is how I would do it. Create a line. Make sure the rotation point is set to the bottom. Duplicate it. Rotate the new line 24 degrees, then press command (ctrl Windows) + J to duplicate another 13 times. Group the lines. Align the circles and the now grouped lines to the centre. Done. I did a few more bits in this video like expanding the stroke of the lines and punching out of the circle. Which if you intend to colour each piece like in your image then this way may be a good way to do it. circle.mov Shih 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word ‘cog’ can refer to an entire wheel or bar with projections (‘teeth’) on its edge, but it commonly refers to a single tooth, so ‘cogwheel’ or ‘gearwheel’ would be a better term to use here.

Nazario Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Or you could do that lol. I always forget about that tool but I don't use Affinity enough to remember it at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit cocky here in my opinion.
