How can I arrange different objects on a circle?

A complicated, but flexible way:
Create a null for every object you want to position.
Move the object away from the null by the radius you want for the circle (use any axis you see fit).
Now, rotate each null to position the objects on the circle.
The advantage of this method is that you can animate the positioning quite easily.
Cheers,
Mike

Another idea might be to create a null, give it an Item Shape of a circle, make it the size you want, and then place your objects along that circle. Should give you a kind of template to place your objects but won't be visible at render time. Just an idea. :)

Why not use radial array?
