Duplicate Shapes around a Circle in Illustrator - How to rotate and distribute shapes with ease.
Learn how to distribute objects evenly around a circle in Illustrator. This process is handy for making dials and gears as the shapes are rotated as they move around the circle so they always point in towards the center of the circle. This process uses the Rotate tool in Illustrator and you will learn how to determine the point around which the shape will rotate and a way to have Illustrator determine how many degrees to rotate the shape (if you are math challenged!). You will also learn a shortcut keystroke that will do the copying and rotating for you.
This process can be used to rotate any type of object around a circle.

Thank you so much for this video, I just found it after a colleague had told me all these points, yesterday evening, telling me, do the maths, Deej, for a circle - 360/8 but thank you for the alignment tip. That advice was after I had spent about 8 hours using alt to shift a pattern around the circle, and then doing the transforming with control D with the help of a mouse. Very borrrring. But now, thanks to this video, I have knowledge stuck right inside my medulla oblongata , never to be forgotten again. What a nice way to spend a Sunday, learning your tutorials!

When you need to make a dial you need to rotate lines around a shape and they need to turn as they go round. Here's how to do this in

THANK YOU THANK YOU!! i am an architect and i like exact things, nobody gives this extra tip to separate evenly the objects around a center. Thanks a bunch!

Who is the one grump that actually gave a thumbs down to this? Jeez, I guess you can't please everyone, Helen. Anyway, I like the command click in the center of the circle. I've been dragging the center point from the object to be rotated into the circle which is a little less convenient. I haven't tried the blend option when I don't want the objects to be rotated themselves as they go around the circle. I will try that soon.
