Object Alignment along a Curve
Text can be aligned along a curve but how do I align objects along a curve? I have an odd number of objects that I would like to equally distribute around a circle. I suspect that the solution involves calculating the separating degrees, but is there a way that is a easy as the Alignment Tool, but along a curve?
Thanks.

Re: Object Alignment along a Curve
DF, you could set your objects as equi-spaced along their centres.
Next create a Scatter Brush with this line.
Apply the Line to a SmartShape Polygon with the same number of nodes.
Drag a node until all Shape occupy a node each; easier than changing Line width.
Toggle the Shape to a Ellipse (here, Circle).
You can also try with an Art Brush set to Repeat but this distorts the shapes.
To recover your Shapes, convert Line to Shapes and Ungroup.
Not perfect, but might work for limited conditions.
