Here is how I got my 5 points circle:
I created a star, erased the inside points, selected the 5 remaining points and adjusted the curvature until get a circle. To be sure, I compared it with a 4 points circle.
I won? I won?

I was writing this other answer before read about your new challenge
you can use bones as reference to get circles with more or less points.
for example, for a 3 points circle I created 3 bones of the same size with the same origin place. Then rotated each bone on 0 degrees, 120 degrees and 240 degrees (which means 360/3, a complete circle divided on 3).
Then I use that bones as a reference to add the 3 points. Once the points are on place, it's all find the right curvature.
PD: of course, using Fazek's polygon tool you would avoid all this steps.

hehehe, you are putting it hard. let me think...Genete wrote:Guess you don't have bones and don't have Fazek's tools installed.

LOL, I was doing it old school way. I took 360/5 to get 72 degrees and used tan18=x/1 to get the y point and sin36=x/1 to find midpoints of each edge so i knew when i used curvature tool i was at a perfect circle when i hit the midpoints. I guess I made it harder than needed to be. Anyways it made me unfreeze the trig side of my brain that's been dormant for years.

hehe, I have 3, 6 and 8 point circles. but can't get the 7 points one!
It's so hard!
I'm trying to think as Genete does... let's see, If I would created the spring mechanism...

Ok, you can rotate a line by angles too, so you can use lines as references. But I'm sure it's not what Genete is thinking about.
