Some lines with same center and different angles
Maybe I'm stupid.
I which elegant way I can draw a lot of lines with the same center and different angles. At moment I draw one line, duplicate the line, change the angle, move the line to the center and so one. But it's not so professional when I need more than 3 lines. Can I create one line and make "n" copies around same circle with "m" angles ? Jochen |

wow. good question. If there is a way to do this, I haven't been able to find it. Anybody? Christopher |

Sounds like a job for Applescript, no? Peter McMaster's [URL="http://www.petermcm.dircon.co.uk/software/og_circle_arrange/index.html"]Arrange in a Circle script[/URL] might provide a starting point...

What are typical values of "m" and "n"? What are you trying to achieve in the end?
If I needed something like this, I would probably make some stencils of a couple lines crossed at different angles that I could use to compose the final figure. |

It doesn't work. Script old. 1.0 (2005-07-06) ? My mistake ? I create a new diagram. I draw one line I duplicate this line for 7 times I activate all 8 lines I start the script with value 50 for radius I make OK Nothing ? Jochen |
Now I see it works, BUT NOT WITH LINES ;-(
Only with shapes ;-) In an other application there is a simple way. Create a line. Select the line. Then use command "Duplicate around point" for 3 times and result is 4 lines with 90° Jochen |

Oh I see. there is a line in shape inspector. When I use this "shape" the script works well. Thanks Jochen |
I wasn't suggesting that the script would work "as is", only that it might be a guide to how you might construct a script that did what you need. I'm happy to hear that it apparently does work for you (when you use the line shape)!
