Trim problems in navigation lines
Here is how to make the circular array in a bit more detail than I wrote in the blog.
Start with the circle, and a single vertical line from the centre outwards.
Then right click the copy tool on the right :CC2COPY: and pick Circular Array from the dropdown menu.
You will have a small square on your cursor. Pick the vertical line with that square and then press D for do it, and read what it says in the command line at the bottom of the screen, where it is asking you for the Number of spokes. I want 12, so I type 12 and press Enter. Then the command line asks you for Number of rings. The default is 1, so just press enter, since we only want one ring of spokes.
The command line should now be asking you for the Array centre, whic is the centre of the circle, so click at the centre of the circle. Since you have SNAP turned on your click will automatically be accurate as long as you are reasonably close to the grid point at the centre of the circle.
Then you will be asked for the Copy Origin, which is again the centre of the circle, so click there a second time.
Finally, the Command line will check the angle you want between the lines of the array. Just press enter, and the array will be drawn atuomatically for you.
The drawing above shows the resulting circle with 12 equally spaced lines at 30 degrees from each other that all end in the centre of the cricle.
When you use the Trim to command as described in the blog you should be able to trim all 12 to the outside of the circle as described, because they are separate lines that end in the circle, and not only 6 lines that cross the centre.
