Actually I first draw it the same way as Mike Bailey, but then was fooled by the mathematical part of the description and chose that particular shape where the intersecting tangents of a circle can define another circle.

Last one I can think of:
- Draw a vertical line.
- Draw a horizontal line.
- Place the vertical line as the bisector of the other (Snap to objects selected).
- Combine Shapes > Add shapes.
- Switch to the Shape Tool (F4).
- Press the Tab key until the selected node is at the bisector.
- Press the Delete key or Delete points icon.
- Repeat Steps 6 & 7 until a Kite is formed.

I turn on snap to objects, I have no problem snapping to the end points of the cross. By the way the dimensions of the cross are in thirds. the horizontal line is 2/3 the length of the vertical line and is centered 2/3 of the distance from the bottom of the vertical line. This gives me a pretty nice looking kite.I've tried this approach and cannot easily get the vertices to snap onto the cross.

No, as I draw with the pen tool It snaps to the end points of the lines. My snap radi is set at the default, do you notice anything unusual in this image?Have I cracked it?

Mike, never thought of the Pen Tool.
