Default distributing objects equally in a circle

Is there a way in AI to distribute objects equally in a circular patern? What I am trying to do is draw a wheel and space out the lugnut holes equally. Thanks for the help...........

You may have something similar to Corels Blend tool.

You can select your main object, make a copy. Then apply the blend tool with the required number of steps you want. You then apply your blend group to the path you want.

I would think you would have something similar, just named differently

Corel's feature for doing this is much better than illy's. Some things illy can do better than corel and vice-versa.

You can create a star with the star shape tool. Center it to your circle and ad the lug nuts to each point on the start then delete the star. Also you can use the outline view to be right on, command Y.

Good luck!
