   key, draw a circle starting at the "Handle to guide intersection" at the center   
   of the grid until the "Handle to Path" or "Handle to guide" 'x' appears at the   
   intersection of the nineteenth (19th, both vertical and horizontal) lines from   
   the grid center, maintaining thin (0.01 mm) stroke width; zoom to selection   
   [3],   
   deselect [Esc], then draw a another circle starting at the center until the 'x'   
   appears at the first (1st) grid lines from grid center; select all [Ctrl+A], in   
   Path click "Object to Path" [Shift+Ctrl+C], in Extensions > Generate from path,

   click "Draw Bezier curves and straight lines" [B] icon on the toolbox and draw   
   a horizontal line from the center of grid to the outer edge on the right side,   
   in Edit click "Duplicate"[Ctrl+D], select all [Ctrl+A], in Object click "Align   
   and Distribute" [Shift+Ctrl+A], and Relative to "First selected", click "Align

   Angle +10.000*; again select all, group, duplicate, transform, rotate +20.000*;   
   select all, group, duplicate, transform, rotate +40.000*; finally, select all,   
   group, rotate +10.000*(note gaps for horizontal and vertical grid centerlines);   
   holding [Shift+Ctrl] to preserve aspect ratio, expand this radial grid so that   
   all lines extend just outside corners of image, set stroke width 0.01 mm; lock   
   all layers, save, close, backup; reopen file, zoom to page, add a fifth layer;   
      
   hide layers 1 , 2, and 4; unlock layer 3 (circles), select all, copy, deselect,

   and with guides enabled, select the smallest circle at center, hold the [Shift]   
   key and stretch the horizontal centerline selection handles one(1) guide square   
   outward, tangent to the next larger circle as indicated by the snap-enabled 'x'   
   and "cusp node to guide", resulting in a 2:1 integer-ratio ellipse; repeat this   
   step for each larger circle, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 6:5, 7:6, ... and so on until   
   19:18;   
   select all, set stroke width 0.01 mm; the largest circle (19) already exists in   
   layer 3, so delete it from layer 5; select all, copy, then add a sublayer under   
   current ellipse layer, paste in place, rotate 90* CW; lock and hide all layers;
