Divide a circle of diameter 80mm into 14 equal parts but no contact with circumference

Onyekachukwu Nnodim Jul 28, 2015 1:13 PM

Hi,

I'd like to divide a circle into 14 equal parts(i.e pie/circular/square/rectangular)

These equal parts will be closer to the point of origin of the circle and no contact with the circumference or at least 5mm away from the circle.

Thank you

  Hi John,
  
  Thanks for replying.
  
  Its not the same question actually. This division isn't in contact with the circle but closer to origin of the circle.
  
  I'd like to know how best to divide these 14 equal parts.
  
  Thanks
  
  Any suggestions?

ON,

I might suggest using the Polygon tool and sketch a 14-sided polygon on your circle.

I would sketch another circle (for construction) within the main circle, whatever distance away from the circumference you want (you mentioned 5mm, use the offset tool), and then draw a line from the center to the circumference of the smaller circle. Then use the circular pattern tool on your line to get the 14 segments. Is this what you're asking for?
