I think that the way you responded may have answered my question. So if they are generated as polygons then the lines are shape sides. Okay. I was thinking that the dial paths were generated as a pair of circles and then the joining lines were added by connecting coordinate pairs.
Anyway, I will go ahead and illustrate because I could be wrong above (happens a lot) and maybe I will learn something else in the process.
The 3 paths I created to mark the dial (See earlier post for the layer labels):
The first "subtraction" path (remove innermost circle):
The second "subtraction" path (remove outermost circle):
The third "subtraction" path (remove innermost circle):
I hope at least what I meant is making more sense now, even if I did have a fundamental misunderstanding of how you were generating the marks in the first place.
