how to centre things?!

[daveinuk]

Hi All, this is probably the easiest question in the world.
I have drawn a circle and want to centre everything to the middle of that circle. is there an easy way to
1) find the exact middle of the circle and
2) set up a tab or marker that will snap things onto it

Thanks in advance

David.

You could just lock the postion of the circle and then select one or more objects plus tthe circle. Open the Align palette and click first on horizontal align center and then on vertical align center

Using OSX 10.3.9 on a G4

A few ways:

1. Use the Align palette.
2. Turn on Smart Guides (they'll show the center point of the circle).
3. Make a copy of the circle, right-click on it and choose Make Guides (you can set objects to snap to guides).
