Array lisp

    I have to array a line in a circle 365 times with different angular degrees on each line is a lisp possible or can the data be transfered from excel and the lines be drawn with the preset of each degrees in the cells.


    Or i have to rotate and copy each one of them with their respective values.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Best

  2. What does "different" mean? A polar array has a repeating angular difference
    between successive lines.

    A lisp is always possible for this sort of thing, and using data from a
    spreadsheet is also possible, but both require fairly advanced customization
    skills. If you're doing it once or twice, doing it manually is probably
    faster.

    Different is for degrees between each line is different therefore lines are
    not equal distance between each other.

    Just tough that Mike would have one lisp that can be adapted with different
    values.

    O well i tried ;-)

    Indeed it's a one timer 365 copies and rotate to do omg

    Thanks Mike

    For your curiosity.

    Yes the array is for radial lines with preset and different angles.
    To achieve a planisphere for star gazers. Lines are for the true sun scale for the year 2007.

    yes, but darn it, now I'm curious.
    "array a line in a circle" puzzles me.
    365 RADIAL lines? (I know he didn't say that)
    what kind of data does this represent.
    is it ONLY the angles that vary?

    I'm thinking there might be some drafting technique other than the array command.
    else, is there some logical or mathmatical relationship between theses lines?
