Hey guys,  
I’ve got a quickie for ya. I’m trying to create simple sizable vector circles that have a blueprint technical look by using simple symbols such as the ones in this picture (see attachment). Sounds simple I know, but the effecti wish to achieve is for any symbol to point inwardly toward the center. So, for example, if I chose the plus symbol (+) the side pointer inside would point (tilt) towards the center. Also if someone additionally tell me if there is a way to control the number of how many of that symbol you want to make the vector shape. I hope I havn’t confused anyone and that there is a simple solution.;( I’ve been looking all over for tutorials on this and have ended up with nothing.:hurt: If you happen to know of a quick and easy way to acomplish this in Illustrator CS2 (preferably - I’m trying to learn Illustrator) or Fireworks 8 please let me know. Or if you know of a simple tutorial, please post the link.

Thanks in Advance,
