What I am actually doing is making pie-chart style graphics with

assembling a pie chart from these objects is more complicated than
using native ArtWorks as they have to be rotated about their
origins.
Can you not use a proper graphing or charting application to make pie
charts.
Could ChartDraw be of any use? You can save as draw file.

Thanks Chris - but like the segment drawing programs, using Chartdraw
involves more work than messing about in ArtWorks. The pie charts I am
drawing are not normal pies.
It is a documentation exercise. The pies are 24 hour clock faces. The
segments are time slots for programming an underfloor heating
thermostat. So I don't have a data series, although I could derive
one. Also I have already got a specific set of colours defined.
Using the ArtWorks curve tool works quite well. I was hoping someone
had tackled a similar problem and could suggest an improvement on my
method.
