    Came across this site today which is an online calculator and allows printable PDFs of segmented circles, diameter tapes, Bézier curves, stars, bolt circles, spoked wheels etc which may be of use to some.
    As an example, input 90mm diameter, number of segments, hit calculate and it is all laid out, can then be printed to PDF and you have a 100% to scale diagram.
    Have a play. Calculators for Contractors, Builders, Remodelers, Carpenters, Woodworkers + Scale Modelers
    Cheers

    I have just used that on the rear wheels of my tractor build you will see a paper template attached to one of them. I have also used them for other projects some very useful things on there
