I know there is a way to do this, but I just cannot remember how. I have a circle and would like to increase the diameter. I want to keep the circle in the same position and expand it from the center out. Can someone smarter than myself remind me how to do this. Thanks for the help.

Hmmm. There are many ways. You could drag out a free transform while holding the alt key.

Thats one way. More will be revealed after the commercial break.

Object/Path/Offset path/0.05 or so.

Or

Create a smallest and a largest select both then Object/Blend/Blend Options.../xx steps.
Then
Object/Blend/Make then Object/Expand.

There should be a Repeat Offset like in Freehand. Oh well.
