    <title>topic convert circle shape to octagon in Data Management Questions</title>
    <link>https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/convert-circle-shape-to-octagon/m-p/574729#M32546</link>
    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Hello!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;maybe someone can help me out with this problem...&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;I created a shapefile with circles (variing in diameter since they represent tree stems). For my hydronumerical simulations I want to "punch" them out from an existing mesh. I use triangular shapes for the mesh. That is why I need to change the circle shape to octagon so that triangels can be generated around the "hole". Is there a function in ArcMap or even AutoCad to change the shape automatically?&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Thanks for any suggestions!&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Cheers,&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Anne&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
