Re: Degree Circles

No, everything is put in by hand, but it was not very difficult. The tic marks are really lines going all the way across that were put into final position by copying, rotating, grouping, copying, rotating, etc. The numbers had to be rotated also and individually placed. Masking white opaque circles with black borders were plotted on top of the maze of crossed lines to leave the tic marks sprouting from the edge of the circle. I used MacDraw Pro which is just the grown up version of MacDraw that used to be given away free with all Macs. ClarisDraw, Kalaidadraw and Canvas would probably have enough tools to let you do it, PC or Mac.
