Anybody know how to copy an object so it follows a circlular pattern instead of the offset XY method ?
I know its simple I have done it before but I forgot again already. If somebody has the answer I swear I'll write it down this time(I mean print it out)....LOL

I usually (for a circular array of diameter D):

1. copy the object
2. move the copy D to the right
3. select both and copy again
4. rotate the copy to desired angle
Repeat steps 3 and 4 as needed.

(There's a 'wrap-to-curve' widget in Corel somewhere, but I've never figured it out.)

Here is a radial array macro. I didn't write it so I can't really help much with it, it seems pretty self-explanatory.

I think the feature you want is under "arrange", transform, rotate.

You'll need to check the help file for further instructions. Like you, I've used it but can't remember the details.

See pictures for a method (among many for sure) of rotating a "stickman balloon". Look at picture two first then picture one
