Method to distribute objects evenly around a circle?

[zeedale]

Is there a method to evenly distribute objects around a circle? I understand the horizontal and vertical alignment tools, but I'm not sure how to apply them in this situation. Attached are a sample picture of what I want to accomplish and the .xar file (XDP7). Thanks.

The blend tool will help you with this.
Here's a quick clip to show how.

The tutorial above is brilliant. Thank you very much, sledger!

One more issue, though, that perhaps may be a Xara bug:
1. Create an object and a group -- 1) one large circle, and 2)that group of small circles which you just evenly distributed.
2. Select the object and the group of circles.
3. Align them centrally, using the Object Alignment tool.

As you can see in my attachment, the result shows that the centering is a bit off.
Is this a Xara bug or do I need to do something else to align them centrally?

Can't repeat that Zee. I get a perfectly centered result.

Can you attach your file?

Sorry, attached is the .XAR file.

Centers for me. I created a blend and created the blend path/circle to spit the difference.
