How do I create multiple equally spaced points around a circle in XyzPilot?

Use Points/On,C,N with the circle reference, number of points N, and starting angle. Creates N equally spaced points simultaneously.

Full Answer

Use Points/On,C,N. Specify the circle reference, the number of points N, and the starting angle. XyzPilot creates N equally spaced points simultaneously, each assigned an individual point reference identifier.

XyzPilot Example

C0 = Centre (0,0), radius 50

Points/On, C0, N=6, Angle=0, 0
→ P0=(50,0), P1=(25,43.3), P2=(-25,43.3)
   P3=(-50,0), P4=(-25,-43.3), P5=(25,-43.3)
   [6 equally spaced points at 60 degree intervals]

Points/On, C0, N=4, Angle=45, 0
→ P6=(35.355,35.355), P7=(-35.355,35.355)
   P8=(-35.355,-35.355), P9=(35.355,-35.355)
