importing a circle with 9 divisions each 40 degrees


Recommended Posts

how do i render it into a drawing with 9 lines or radii so that i can select a line and copy and copy and paste it into another circle

 

or another possibility is how do I create a point in the middle of a circle and then draw  9 lines from the center point - each 40 degrees apart  so that I end up with 9 radii - each of which I can copy and paste?

Maybe like so:

Nicely done, as usual, @PixelPest, but the OP asked for radii, not arcs. I would do it with a Square Star, increasing the ‘cutout’ size, converting to curves and then breaking the curve at the central node, like this:

I did it in AD on iPad, but the procedure in the desktop version of the app is similar.

Oh no - and leave him alone with a mess of doubled points?

Then I´d simply take the pen tool and power duplicate:

You're right, of course. I should have thought of that! :$
