Re: (SolidWorks) Create Sketch Points Around Curve

That's a pretty crazy sort of thing you want to do there, I must say. I'm fairly certain you can't actually tell it to define points in that sort of way. If I needed to do this for some reason, I'd draw the circle, then draw a radius in the circle, make the radius a construction line, and circular array it 2000 times. If you constrain one end of the line to the center point and the other end to the circle itself, you don't shoot your parametric abilities to heck like you would if you made a chord line and arrayed it. So you can still change the diameter of the circle at will. You could change the number of points as well, but it would most likely screw up anything you had constrained to the points.

Thinking about it, you could probably just create a single point and do the same thing.

I'll have to look into other ways to do it for more general shapes when I get home.
