good morning, i needed help, i have a circle and i needed to put circles around it like in the picture i attached, how do i do?

Hi. Several possible ways. I suggest using the Scatter Extension.

See video below, google and research Scatter Extension.

The Pattern has to be on the top (Page Up or Home key).

See this

If the reason you are putting the circles on the path is to just to make a 'Rosette Outline' I made a webpage to make that shape a long time ago.

Very nice, Inklinea. Thank you.

Also, Lucas, you could investigate the Rotate Copies Path Effect to create your original post.

Have a great day.

The Tiled Clones dialog is a powerful tool for building objects like this.  

Editing shapes inside the original group gives you very fine control of the final rosette.

Great example, Paddy_CAD. Thank you.

Lots of great ideas here.
