To rotate any artwork around circle you can use the Rotate Tool: - Just select your object/s with the Selection Tool (Black Arrow) - Select the Rotate Tool or press (R). - Alt+Click in the point that you want to make it a center for you circle ( any click in your artboard ). - In the window that appear enter your angle ( angle will limit you shape repeating numbers, so if you write 90 your shapes will be 360/90= 4 and if you write 30 you shape numbers will be 360/30=12 ). ------ Or you can use the Scatter Brush, but i think Rotate Tool is suitable for your case.
