Arranging Outlined Letters On A Circle

[Eisenheim]

Hi there,

Hoping someone could help me with this.  I have a sentence, approximately 40 characters.  They're all outlined and ungrouped (can be grouped of course).

If I draw a circle using the shape tool, is there any way I can send these individually outlined objects to follow the path of the circle?  Basically exactly like Type On Path would work if I were typing letters out.

These are custom drawn letters otherwise I'd achieve this simply using type of path - Arranging them by hand seems like a very tedious process so wondering if there was a simpler and quicker way.

Thanks!

Select your outlined text and from the Brushes panel create a new brush and set it to be an Art Brush.  Within the Art Brush Options dialog box set the Brush Scale Options to "Scale Proportionately". Select your circle and apply the new brush to it.
