## What I Want & The Problem I want to create a large circle with smaller circles following the inner-line of the larger circle at differing positions on the inner-line; yet every time I rotate the smaller circles within the larger one they begin to either clip the larger circle (going over its edge) or become pulled away from the edge (going off of the path) at certain points. (Both circles are perfect circles) ## Approach I've setup ruler guides at the center points on the horizontal and vertical nodes of the larger circle and I snap the center-edge of the smaller circle to the larger circle's right-side node (without clipping) after that I take the smaller circle's "Transform Origin" and place it in the center of the larger circle; then I duplicate the smaller circle and begin rotating them individually around the larger circle by selecting a single small circle and the larger circle and then choosing the rotate handle. Whilst doing this multiple times around the larger circle there begins to be points around the circle where the smaller circles are no longer attached to the edge of the larger circle. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you, EC71PZ
