Does anybody know how I copy an object around a circle. For example, if you wanted to put 1/2" stars around a 10" circle. After I have drawn the star in the "12 o'clock" position, how do I copy, say 15 of them around the circle, or around a center point. In AutoCAD this was called an Array, but I cannot figure out how to do it in CorelDraw. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
Ken, in Corel, I would use the Blend Tool.
Make your blend and then point to your circle as the path.
You can then Ctrl+K (break apart) the Blend group and delete the path if you want.
Corel will evenly space your 15 stars around the ellipse.
I hate to sound like an idiot.....but I will anyway. lol How does the Blend command function? I have the star and the circle and I can't figure out how to copy the star with the blend command. I hightlight the star, but then what? If I go to the "Blend" command under the "effects" drop down menu, I am lost from there. It seems to need me to have 2 items selected. Sorry for such a basic question, I am just lost.
What am I missing?
Ken
Here's another way:
Got it THANKS to both of you. I ended up using the rotate command in the transformation window docker, moving the star center point as mentioned to the center of the circle, and then indicating the degree I wanted just "applied to duplicate" until all were copied.
THANKS!!!
