I thank you very much Femke and Kurt for the script !

But I think I will use the existing polar grid tool that is perfect for my use.

are we missing the obvious? 🙂

Use Polar Grid, three circles in one go

Now, if I have a single circle and would like to divide it in equal circles, by example create two inner circles of equal parts.

I have tried to use the object/blend tool but it does not works.

What do you mean with equal parts?

All these circle jobs - are those for automatization?

Is it acceptable to draw a new shape?

Is it acceptable to draw that from the other direction and begin with the smaller ones?

Is that an assignment and could you perhaps post the exact wording of the assignment?

Hi monika,

All these circle jobs are to make a technical book.

By example here, between the center and the outer circle, I need to create 2 inner circle with the same distance between them (equal part).

What is the best to do that : begin with a single smaller circle or begin with a single outer circle (like here) ?

With this single circle I have tried to use the Object/blend tool, but it did not worked.

In order to have one circle into another : I have the outer circle, and would like to create the inner circle by begining by the center of the outer circle.

Because actually, for the inner circle, I create a circle that is not immediately centered :

How to have the inner circle immediately centered ?

Pierre,

To get the inner circle concentric with the outer one, you can:

1) Select both circles,

2) Click the outer circle to make it the key object that stays in place.

3) In the Align = Alignement panel use both Alignement horizontal au centre and Alignement vertical au centre.

That will move the inner circle into the right place, and the outer circle will stay where it is.

In fact, I was remembering a video where it was possible to click on the center of the outer circle, and move the mouse towards the outer circle in order to create the inner circle. But I am not sure it was from Illustrator.
