Thanks, Niki.
I have never thought of making those like that. I usally make mine by using the star tool. If you double click the star tool on your document and give it a radius for the outside and inside and add the number of points.
I like the zig zag better because you can view what is going on live where as the other way you can’t preview.
thanks, niki.

Simple is better!
