How to make dots from circles?

Hello.

I have multiply objects. I need to make one average dot for each object. If I choose all objects average will create one dot for all objects. Is there any way to iterate over multiply objects to make average operation for each?

I have Russian UI, sorry for bad translation.

robben,

As I (mis)understand it, you will get the same result as with Object>Path>Average (a circle with four Anchor Points and W = H = 0) for each circle in one go if you use Object>Transform>Transform Each>Scale with both Horizontal and Vertical set to 0%.

Can you explain more in details your final goal?.

Average Feature (Horizontal and Vertical or Both) will move each anchor point of circle to the center of that circle, without merging them. That means that you will get 4 points on the same place that are not merged.

The idea was to perform this action (Average) to many objects seperately, but at same time.
Pls look at the picture. If I have much more rabbits, it will take ages to do it manually one by one. I am wondering is there a way to iterate the same procedure (average in this case) with multiply objects.

And I have second question after your comment now. =) Can I merge points after average feature somehow?

PS: It is more theoretical question right now, because I found that single point can not have stroke... =( But it's still interesting for me anyway.

Robben,

To obtain what you show in your post #4 in just one go, you can do exactly as suggested in my post #2, with the addition that I forgot to mention that you should set Stroke to Round Join (I always also set it to Round Cap).

I'm nor sure you need but:

Try to change dots to Symbol or Brush (scatter)

Maybe it's it?
