Distribute Objects Around a Circle in Inkscape (2024)
Рет қаралды 3,022
Күн бұрынLearn how to place multiple objects around a circle shape in Inkscape with this Inkscape tutorial for beginners! With this tip, you can evenly distribute multiple different objects PERFECTLY around a circle shape EVERY TIME! You can even change which direction the objects rotate around the circle - including clockwise and counterclockwise (a.k.a. anticlockwise).
To demonstrate this technique, I'll be using the 8 planets from our solar system!
Inkscape is a free scalable vector graphics editor most similar to Adobe Illustrator.

Can this be done centered on an ellipse rather than a circle?

Hey, so I know this is an Inkscape video, but I'm having a problem with Gimp and am wondering if you might know how to fix it. The edits and options under my toolbox have disappeared. Not the tools themselves, just everything below the foreground/background color blocks have vanished and I don't know how to get them back. I can't edit any of the tools I'm trying to use and no Google searches are helping.

Are you using inkscape 1.3.1? I ask because Inkscape on X said to hold off on using it because of a bug and they haven't said when to download the fixed version just yet.
@DaviesMediaDesign 7 ай бұрын
No I am using Inkscape 1.3. I saw their message and am waiting for an updated version to get beyond the bugs.

What if, after selecting the items in order, I wanted the placement to start at the top of the circle instead of the left or right sides?
@MidLifeDraftee 7 ай бұрын
I figured it out. Use the rotate clockwise or counter clockwise 90 degree tool before aligning.
