Hello,

I want to duplicate Stars around a Circle. 5 Stars each the left and right side.

I know a way to do that with the rotate tool but I cant figure out how to do it the way I want.

The stars should be straight after moving it around the circle, meaning that the "peak" of the star is always on top and that all 5 Stars are in the exact same rotation.

So what I want is all Stars to be like the 4 stars in the top left corner. With 5 Stars on each side.

The way I duplicated till now, is visible on all the others stars.

If I move the Stars individual I never know if their all "exact"? some might be slightly off and therefore the result wont be the quality I seek

Sorry if I have some grammar or english issues, Im happy for correction also improving this..! ;D

Thanks in advance for any help.

Correct answer rcraighead

I would suggest using a "Static Symbol":

Position Symbol
Rotate/Duplicate
Select all Symbol instances (CMD+A or "Select>Same>Symbol Instance")
Click "Reset"

This works ONLY with "Static" Symbols, not "Dynamic".
