I used a dotted ellipse here to create the effect of the extrudes For some reason they aren't evenly spaced though, If you look at the right hand side two are together ? Anyone got any ideas how to fix this ? These are completly draw components 🙂

Should have added These are not finished (Just draw components no mouse control or rotating yet) These are designed for the Creakbox project 🙂

Only a guess , but posibly when selecting dotted pen, SM itself manges to the end and start point ar colored. that's why on, some point you get two extrudes
I suugest you use LATK leds phylosophy to this ( a number of individual arcs)

For dotted lines the dot size and spacing is exactly the same as the line thickness. Take the example below. The red line is 8sq long with a 1sq thickness. The blue line is the same length but with a 0.5sq thickness.
If your circle's circumference is not an exact multiple of twice the line thickness you'll always get a bit of space or dot left at the end. Unks suggestion is a good solution.

Cheers guys, I will try and redo it LATK style 🙂 Will the LATK way be more CPU intensive though, The dots now are just a couple of components ?

If you do want to use the dotted lines to get a specific number of dots round a circle then use the following equation:
N * 2T = D * PI
Where:
N = number of dots; T = line thickness (= dot thickness) D = diameter of circle PI = 3.141... you know 😉
You need to decide on two of the variables and the equation gives you the third.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice Cheers Malc 🙂 🙂
