Without going into why (probably boring for most), I need to draw a circle with 580 degrees / sub-divisions as a guide for something else I am designing. Does anyone know of any software which will let me do this? It's semi-urgent, so bonus love to anyone who can help.

There's probably much better CAD software that will do what you want, but you can do it in (
http://inkscape.org/) Inkscape.
Create a horizontal line, select it and set up the line width as you want (probably very thin with that many divisions). With it still selected, "Edit / Clone / Create Tiled Clones" and go to the rotation tab. Enter the number of degrees you want per rotation (0.62069 I'm assuming in your case) and enter half the number of clones you want in Rows (i.e. so it becomes "290 x 1"). Click Create and that should give you your angular guides - you may want to delete the original object.

Thanks Al - that works perfectly :)
