In this tutorial featuring the free vector graphics software Inkscape, I show you how to create duplicates of an object that perfectly rotate around a circle! This is an amazing feature using a built-in Live Path Effect in Inkscape known as the Rotate Copies LPE. With this effect, you can quickly create evenly distributed copies that rotate around a center point. This beginner-friendly technique should come in handy in a variety of use-cases!
