You mean like this.......
http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~riscos/problems/20-seg.zip
Entirely drawn in ArtWorks - as you can see it can be done but takes
quite a lot of time as it involves cutting a circle into 1/20th
section, using a 20 segment circular grid as a guide. Two straight
lines are then drawn from the origin to intersect the circle - the three
sections would then have to be joined to form a filled shape. This only
creates a single segment so you still have to clone and rotate to form
the rest.

DrawLots is a great time saver - this is a good method.

Sounds good if you have Schema.

I have seen some of your shields and very good they look too.
