1. Re: pivoting on a center point
Jacob Bugge Dec 2, 2014 11:42 AM (in response to davidr)David,
Carrying on from what you have in the OP image, you may:
1) Select both, then Click the circle, then Align>Align Objects>Horizontal Align Centre, then Align>Distribute Spacing>Vertical Distribute Space after changing from Auto to 0; this should centre the tooth on the top but a little high;
2) Select the tooth, then Hold Shift and use the down arrow to get it down where you want it;
3) Switch to the Rotate Tool and Alt/OptionClick the centre of the circle, then insert the desired rotation angle divisible by 360 degrees and press Alt/Option+C to rotate a copy;
4) Press Ctrl/Cmd+D to repeat until you are done;
5) Select all and Pathfinder>Unite.
Smart Guides are your friends telleing you when you are there and helping you to snap.
Undo may also be your friend, especially when setting the angle.
There are quite a few ways to do it.
