Hi

Is there any way to bend shapes around a path. Similar to bending text along a path?

I have a straight line with tabs along it and want to bend this into a circle but keeping the tabs the same length. I want to use living hinges to make a round box but want the tabs to be in the right places to match the slots in the bottom piece. Is there a way to do this?
I have tried Arrange>copy along path but it repeats the line with tabs along the circle rather than bend it towards the circle. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
C

      If this doesn’t work for you and you need to actually bend the shape then the closest to this will be Tools->Warp Selection or Tools->Deform Selection.
These aren’t really meant currently as high precision tools, however, so may not necessarily work for what you’re trying to do.
