Inkscape Objects Around A Circle

Rotating and duplicating objects around a circle in Inkscape can be done in numerous ways. This way is probably the simplest. In this tutorial, I show you step by step how to duplicate and rotate objects around in a circle. I show you how to rotate your objects in set increments to evenly space the objects around a circle, and you will learn how to change the size of the steps depending on how many objects you are using.

There are other ways to create this effect, two other ways are described in the videos below:

Using the Transform Panel:
   • Inkscape Transform Panel  

Using Tiled Clones:
Tiled clones is a very powerful tool and is well worth learning, you can create mosaics, spirals, halftone effect to mention a few. The video is split into 2 parts and it is well worth taking the time to watch both.
