I've searched the forums, but can't find out how to make a circular grid.
When selecting the grid tool, the only options available seem to be arcs.

I've tried drawing the circle and using the pick lines tool from the grid button, but this converts it into 2 arcs with 2 grid bubbles.

Surely there must be a way of having a simple circular grid with one grid reference.

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Pick the grid tool and you will see 2 choices in the options bar one is a straight and one is arc'd pick the arc and draw what you need.

In the axes family duplicate an existing axis and create an axis with switched off bubbles. Then you can draw an axis without bubbles, but notice - it have hidden name.

one arc with 2 bubbles...
don't forget you can just "uncheck" the box on one of the bubbles to make it go away
then grip stretch the arc to be a circle

Sketch the half circle and finish, then pick the grid line arc, pick the end without the bubble and stretch this end the rest of the way toward the other end.

Thanks all for your replies.

I now have it worked out. I was having trouble moving the bubble outside the grid line and getting the leader line to look right.

cheers,
