In previous tutorials I’ve gone over a method for duplicating objects around a circle where an object is rotated and stamped in multiple places. This is a really useful technique for any Inkscape user to know, and I’ve had a lot of people ask me how to do something like this in the past, so I feel like it deserves a tutorial of its own.

In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how you can duplicate objects around a circle using Inkscape. For this technique we’ll be using the Select Tool to rotate the object and stamp it in multiple place.
