How to create an array of 16 lines meeting at the origin without drawing it manual?
 
Is there a button to do this? Why would Creo not have a button for array or pattern of sketch lines?This thread is inactive and closed by the PTC Community Management Team.

Oh, I am sorry. I was assuming a drawing sketch.

In a model sketch you must draw each line or mirror existing lines. Have a look at the palette in the sketch to show how you can make library parts that are pre-defined sketches. These are pre-defined and saved sketches that can be dragged into sketcher.

If the lines can be created in separate sketches, you can always pattern the original sketch about an axis.

I must assume you mean to make a rotational copy of a sketched line in a drawing.

Go to the Sketch tab and find the Edit menu. Click on "Edit" and in the submenu, there is a Rotate and Copy command. This will let you choose the sketch feature you want to copy, after selection (middle mouse button) it will ask for the rotation origin, the angle, and the number of copies.
