Circle question

[eddieb378 41]

I got corel x7 and was wondering how would I make a circle using small shapes like hearts or dots

[eddieb378 41]

This is a sample of what I would like to create!

'Blend' tool, maybe?

[JP Auto N Design 36]

Im using X6

 

-Make your circle and heart

-Duplicate the heart

-Select Blend, then drag the line from the first heart to the duplicated heart

-With only the hearts selected, go to Path properties icon @ the top and choose new path

-your cursor will change to a curved arrow, click on your circle with that arrow. The hearts will now be on the circle.

-Now click the More Blend options icon at the top and choose Blend along full path.

-Then adjust the spacing to your liking with the Blend Steps box.

 

Note: I only started using Corel this week. So if there's a quicker way, i don't know it yet.

The blend along path option JP added works fine.  

 

An alternative option would be to put the heart on the top of  and centered on a circle.  Select the heart.  Drag it's rotation center to the center of the circle.  

 

Depending on if it is a shape or an object, you have to click or maybe double click on the shape/object until the rotation handles display to be able to access it's rotation center icon to be able to drag it around.  

 

Open the Transformation/Rotation docker.  Set the angle degree to 360/number of copies you wish.  For example if you wanted 20 copies, 360/20 would be 18.  You can also just enter 360/20 in the angle rotation box.  Set the number of copies to 18.  Hit apply.
