Donut graphic with 14 evenly sized segments...

[ad1066]

Agreed. My calculator says that 360 / 14 = 25.71428571428571, which is not easy to work with (though you could round to 25.71). So trace a segment, clone it, and rotate 25.71 degrees. You'll have a bit of a gap when you get back around (0.06 degrees, which will likely not be noticeable).

Is there an easy way to create a doughnut chart and have it consist of 14 segments? I can't seem to make the Guide markers angular and it only allows me to use them horizontally or vertically. So is there a way to create a doughnut chart (ring shape graphic with hollow center) and have 14 evenly sized segments in the ring?

I'm sure there has to be an easy way but my brain is dead today...

thanks,

Set your options for the rotate to 26 degrees...unless you want an exact number. But this is close visually.
Draw one line. Leave it selected.
Show the rotate handles by the toolbar icon or click a second time on the line.
Hold your right mouse button down over one of the rotate handles, click using the right mouse button and hold the CTRL key down. This should rotate a second copy of the line.
Do this 6 times. Select all the lines.
Set the line weight to the thickness you desire for the gap between segments of the pie chart.
Convert Line to Shape.
CTRL + 1 to add the shapes to a single shape.
Draw your Pie. Two circles that with both selected, (and after centering them), press CTRL+2 (if I recall what I did properly...).
Move the Pie shape below the lines shape.
Select both shapes, hit CTRL + 2.
Break Shapes to color individual Pie pieces...
