Hi everyone -
In the polar grid tool, is it possible to make irregularly-spaced concentric divisions? For example, when I tell it that I want, say, 26 divisions, they all come out equally-spaced from center to circumference; can I specifiy that I'd like the divisions between the inner 13 to be slightly larger (though equal to each other) than those between the outer 13?
Thanks in advance,
Eva
 
I don't think it can be done automatically. You would probably have to manually scale the areas you want, although it shouldn't be too difficult.

You could look at the blend tool instead. Draw the smallest and largest circles for the inner section, then blend between them with 13 steps (well, 11 steps because you've already drawn the two outer circles). Repeat for the the outer section and use the Align palette to centre everything.
 
Thank you, blueark, I will try the blend tool and see if that works for me.
