Dividing a circle into equal segments

adrellias — Wed, 20 Apr 2016 18:02:52 GMT

Hi,

I have been checking on the net in a couple of places, but can't seem to find how to do this in fusion 360. I am trying to design a simple wheel shape to 3d print.

I need to cut this wheel/circle into equal segments and slot them together like a puzzle. Point being i haven't even been able to divide the circle into equal segments.

Is there a function to use that allows you to do this ?

Thanks!

Here's a short screencast and the file. I haven't dimensioned or constrained much to keep the screencast short but it should give you an idea.

Dude, your first post to a forum, and poke at the guy who is by far the single most helpful and takes the most time to assist as anybody else on here?

I misunderstood your post because you seemed not to be able to divide a circle into 4 equal segements

You wrote:

"i (you) haven't even been able to divide the circle into equal segments".

I guess ... no really for your sake I truly hope, that wasn't really the problem 😉

Or...you know...divide it right in the original sketch as desired...

@andrewY57JE

You should always File>Export and then Attach the *.f3d file of your attempt to model the geometry.

Or at least a screen capture image of your attempt.
