Accepted Answer
in Illustrator CC-2014:
Create the circle:
Apply the stroke with the desired fill color:
Place guides in the center:
Copy circle and apply it to a new layer with Edit -> Paste in Place
.
Lock Layer 1
and select Layer 2
:
Grab the Line Segment Tool
and hold down the shift and drag the length in the center:
Use the Align panel
and select the dragged line and circle:
Copy and paste in place a new line segment than rotate it with the rotate tool and it will tell you the percentage of rotation:
Select just the line segments and go to pathfinder
and click outline then delete the bottom two anchor points with the direct selection tool
:
Select everything on Layer 2
and click the outline again and delete all unneeded anchors with the Direct Selection Tool
:
You should be left with 15% of the circle.
