I have to disect a circle in much the same way it is done on paper with a set of calipers. I have tried copying a circle with the assigned diameter, but the diameters of the circle do not meet on the circle. Any thoughs?

I was a sheetmetal worker years ago, fun job. I was the layout man.

take the circle you're dissecting, draw in the diameter, use ARC (start, end, diameter) to produce the dissect?
