Hi all,

is there any function or script for Illustrator available to draw a
round scale like this? -> http://www.michael-feiler.de/scale.jpg

I know I can do this with Brushes Palette to define a Pattern Brush on
a circle. Works fine, but only when tick marks have same distance.

But what I need are tick marks with unequal distance.
In other words a nonlinear scale.

I need a flexible script to define the different (nonlinear) tick
marks.

1. tick mark = at 5°
2. tick mark = at 7°
3. tick mark = at 13°
4. tick mark = at 15°
5. tick mark = at 16°
6. tick mark = at 27°
...
365 tick marks are enough.

Can anyone write me such a script to draw a nonlinear scale?

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Michael
