I am making circle templates divided into equal pie shaped sections, to be used as templates in my production shop. It works very well when I make eight pie shapes in equal size.
Problem: When I divide the circle into ten equally sized pieces – I can not separate them individually from the circle form.

Hi Stig
Stig Lundberg said:But, I can not drag the individual pie pieces from the circle – the way I can with the eight piece form.
It seems you are talking about the one like the image I have attached. Let me know if I have done it right so that I can explain how to do it.

I'm not sure if this is the easiest or fastest way, but I used the smart fill tool to define the separate pieces of pie.
Yes Anand.
You are right indeed. The problem i have is that i am new at this - loaded the program only ten days ago. I am eager to learn how you did it. Many thanks

Thanks for your rapid reply. Your solution looks interesting. I think that I did something similar, as I explained in the first and only post at this forum. I am new at this as you can see. A ten section pinwheel or radial division is what I am shooting for.
I typed down the word “pinwheel” in search and to my delight I found out what I had been looking for all of last week. It is a file written by you, May 15, 2007. The second I saw it the proverbial light clicked on. I went into a new file, typed in 36 degree for the angle and rotated, as you described. Bingo – there it was!
Perhaps you are a genius? Worth pondering, I think so.
Thanks again.
