Radial Distribute
The Radial Distribute feature allows users to evenly space selected objects in a circular pattern around a central point. This functionality is ideal for creating arrangements where objects need to be distributed evenly, such as in circular layouts or decorative designs.
How to Use Radial Distribute
To distribute objects radially, follow these steps:
Select the objects you wish to distribute.
Navigate to Object > Distribute > Radial Distribute in the menu.
A dialog will appear with the following input fields:
🔺 Figure 1: Radial Distribute Dialog Box- Radius: Enter the distance from the center point to the location of each object.
- Angle Between Objects: Define the angle in degrees that separates each object in the distribution.
- Start Angle: Specify the angle in degrees at which the first object will be placed.
- Rotate: Specify the rotation angle to apply to each object relative to its original orientation.
- Scale: Define the scale factors for the X, Y, and Z axes to adjust the size of each object.
Click OK to execute the distribution. Each selected object will be spaced evenly according to your specified radial parameters.
Note
The pivot point of each object plays a crucial role in how the Scale and Rotate values are applied. Ensure that the pivot is set correctly to achieve the desired arrangement. See Understanding Pivot Points.
