Learn 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.
