I am interested in creating a clock design using VCarve. Is there a way to determine the points in a circle that would represent the hours of a clock face? In other words, is there a way to plot a mark every 30 degrees where the hour would be?
Thank you.

Re: Clock Face Hour Marking
It's come up few times on the forum. This is one thread - http://forum.vectric.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3808
As with many things in VCarve there are several ways of doing it but most will use the Circular Copy tool align the numbers from there.

11" Circular clock face on 11.25" x 12.0" material. File can be resized in Job Setup Area under Design Scaling.
Used a profile line at 12 o'clock then used circle copy the line 12 times then placed numbers on the lines then removed lines for clock face.
