CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X7 trying to have small triangles follow the arc of a circle.

trying to have small triangles follow the arc of a circle.

Hey guys, Im new to corel, just discovered transformations which gives you duplicates of the object selected. what im trying to so if make a triangle, have it evenly spaced around a circle so that it makes a sun, i know to move the center point and transform them that way but it does not seem to work that well. wondering if there is a way to have the shapes repeat around the circle, like how you can have text arc around the circle.

The simple way to do this is to do your design with the blend tool. Thusly:

1. Create a triangle the size and color you want, also create the circle you want.
2. Select and duplicate the triangle (Ctrl+D)
3. Open the Blend Docker
4. Select both triangles and then click Apply. (You can adjust the number of steps, later, if you wish).
5. While the whole design (circle + triangles) are selected, you can click on 'Blend along full path' and then on 'Apply' button

you can do it manually, move the center of rotation to the center of the circle. then rotate the triangle

In addition... if the goal is a sun, you can try the Star tool or also the Polygon tool. The Polygon tool has a interesting ability to change the tips around the shape.
