Hi guys,

I’ve been having a bit of a problem getting these arcs to behave properly. I’m wanting the beginning of the arc to stay in the same place (Just a few degrees before the 12 O’clock position) they creep over the 12 O’clock position and so obscure the tick marks there.

Can someone who is a lot better at maths then me take a look at the calculations I have and see if you can suggest an alternative please?

I looked at the seconds. Maybe not a good idea to rotate the arc with DWFS.

For the rotation of the Arc “Seconds Shroud” I put in “-1”

And fill ratio: (1-#DWFSS#/360)

And use “Reverse Fill”

hope that works for you

I suggest to try following changes to
A) minutes shroud arc shape
1. make it blue instead black
2. use the reverse fill and fixed rotation like -3
3. change the fill ratio to something like ((355-#DWFM#)/360)
B) seconds shroud arc shape
1. use the reverse fill and fixed rotation like -3
2. change the fill ratio to something like ((355-#DWFS#)/360)

Thanks for the calcs. I had made the arc black to try and debug the calcs i’d used, obviously it would be blue in the final version.
