Creating a circular pattern of equal length lines in a sketch

Member Posts: 5 ✭
Hello there,
I am trying to create a sketch that looks like this:
Is there a way to create those 1000mm lines without placing them all manually?
I've tried using a circular pattern.
But the radius could be pretty big (like 35000mm) and the length of the lines is usually just about 400-500mm.
Using a circular pattern I would have to convert the distance to a very small angle and that sometimes results in inaccuracies.
Any ideas? Am I missing something?

You can create a circular pattern in the sketch, then delete the angle dimension and set the ends of the lines coincident.

I*ve been testing around for a little bit.
I am currently thinking about using OnShape for our business.
This is what I am trying to accomplish:

Looks like it would be best to just add the lines manually.
Is there a better way to get this result without converting the lines to equivalent angles and using a circular pattern?

@alnis is my personal account. @alnis_ptc is my official PTC account.
But they need to be equally distanced on every row.
But I think it would be best for me to have a look at creating a FeatureScript for this
