making concentric donuts with the same thickness using snap?

The attached screenshot is of 3 “Donut” shapes created on Publisher 2 for iPad, while in Publisher persona.

While I can easily make successive donuts snap one inside the other so that the outside of one falls exactly on the inside of the one around it.

Are there tools to ensure that all of the donuts has the same width as the others? I can do it by eye, or I could make a little box of x-width to use as a standard, but I’m hoping there’s a tool in the software that make short and accurate work of this little task.

Thank you

It will be advantageous to use circle instead of donuts. Use the transform panel or snapping options (snap to grid).

start with the largest circle, and add more. Just copy / paste them in the required number, and then resize them from bottom. to top.

If you use donuts, there will be semi-transparent gaps between them when you export in raster format.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.

When copy/pasting one circle above another use the transforms panel (studio) anchor midle point orientation, in order to paste them centered ...

Other than that the command controller also offers some helpful quick modifiers ...
