: Illustrator question. How do I cut a section out of a circle, without leaving 2 lines going to the centre When I use the "Start Angle" tool to cut a circle, Illustrator draws the radius lines

You could look into the Pie Graph Tool: create a pie, select Direct Selection Tool (white arrow), select the part you don't want, hit delete.


Select the pie chart tool





Create the pie by dragging across the artboard. Enter the data you need (e.g. 60 and 40). Don't forget to click the check mark when done to commit the data.





Get the Direct Selection Tool (A), select the part you don't need. Hit delete.





Optional: Rotate and color it. Give it a color by selecting the part and setting the fill color. Make the Stroke color blank (white box with red line). Rotate by Right-click > Transform > Rotate.
