Bonjour,

Utiliser un dégradé de formes à 11 étapes, puis couper le cercle en un des points d'encrage...

Select your existing path and under Type > Type on Path options, select Stair Step. Change the other options to adjust to your desired result:

Milko,

Another thought:

If you look at the rotated stars, their visual/geometric centres are a wee bit within the circle.

This is because the centre of the bounding box is above the visual/geometric centre when straight for stars with an odd number of points.

When you turn them or create them straight, the whole set will be the same wee bit below the circle.

In order to avoid that (and also to have rotated stars visually on the circle), you can create a nostroke/nofill circle with a diameter twice the radius of the original star and snap its top Anchor Point to the top Anchor Point of the original star and Group them, then create the rotated set from that.

Milko,

Starting from what you have, you can rotate each of them, or you can start over using a Blend to create them all straight as desired.

When rotating each, you can:

1) Select all but the top one You can use the Lasso Tool or ShiftClickDrag them, then use Object>Transform>Transform Each with a rotation of 360/12 = 30 degrees;

2) Repeat 1) excluding the first one to the right; you can do that in the expanded Layers Palette, within the Group if they are Grouped, by ShiftClicking it to unselect it (it will probably be at the bottom ofthe row of selected objects;

3) Repeat 2) until you have rotated them all.

If you have a number of objects that need to be rotated by a less nice angle, you can just inset 369/number to get accurate rotations throughout.
