CorelDRAW X5 Is it possible to draw a circle with a specific number of nodes evenly spaced or arrayed correctly?

ie. I need two circles, one with 26 nodes evenly spaced and the other with 30 - a walk in the park if I were using a CAD package

Yes, with a low-cost tool such as cadtool 5.

CADTools is pretty cool like mentioned, but an alternative for that request is to just use construction geometry, here is a file that you will be able to understand.

Neat! Just what I was looking for, but hoped CorelDraw could do.

Tried opening that, but it wouldn't work. Maybe my version of CD, X5, is too old

Use the polygon tool & set the number of points to the nodes you need. delete the middle node on the flat side. convert the flat side to a curve then select one of the nodes & change to symmetrical.

This will give you a pretty accurate circle when using a high node count like you need. It will not be as accurate if you only have a few nodes.
