Hello again, this is the same guy who posted a couple days ago who was wanting to know how to space smaller circles inside of a larger one. I needed 14 equally spaced circles per 1/4 of the inner diameter. Well, to make a long story short, I found a way to do it within Photoshop.

I am only wanting to do 1/4 that I can then duplicate over the rest.. so, I concentrated on the upper/right quadrent. I spilt it in half. Thats 45 degrees. Then, I devided that 45 degrees by 8 (7+7 is 14 but one of those is going to overlap) and got 5.62. S0, I copied/rotated it in 5.62 degree increments while putting the rotating piviot point on the bottom of the line. After that 1/8 was done, I dup’ed it and rotated that -45 degrees to finish the 1/4 section.

Im sure alot of people were thinking the same thing, but anyway, thanks for all the ideas. Now all I need to do is simply line up the small circles with my newly made guides and perhaps use the aligned-linked option horizontally align them

Drew,

Well done, thanks for the update.

I assumed from your last Ilustrator question that were in education, if this is not the case, my apologies. Educational discounts on Adobe products can be quite significant and in no way differ from the full retail versions. What you could save on a couple of them may pay for the course that qualifies.
