Routine to create pivot

I need a routine to draw pivot spans automatically as shown in the following image. I tried looking on the internet but I couldn't find it, if you can help me create one or know of one that already exists I'd appreciate it.Sem título.png

 

I leave below the youtube link for a video demonstrating a similar routine.

Not 100% sure I know what a pivot span is but the image in my mind is asking for a dynamic block <array>

Pivô is an irrigation system widely used in Brazil.

My goal is to be able to draw it in autocad in an automated way.

I'm with @Joe-Bouza .

 

This looks like an opportunity to use a dynamic block. 

Dynamic blocks are part of core AutoCAD.

The AutoCAD forum has a Dynamic Block subforum
I think you will have better luck there.

(You can repost or "Report" and ask the moderator to move the post.)

 

I also suggest that additional information be provided:

Is the number of segments variable?

Is the length of the segment variable?

Is the end segment a different length?

Do you need to accommodate a less than 360-degree layout?

Hi Guilherme,
That irrigation system is also widely used here in the Western USA. There might be a manufacturer somewhere, either US or Brazil, with CAD drawings available for design. Dynamic Blocks look like a good way.

I watched your video. looks like a dyno block will do this.
