My next step is to become more flexibel while working with individual shapes. Combining or separating them makes it a lot easier to get the structure you want. Here you have to mind correct angles as you can see in my example below. The pattern consists of 6 circles, which means the change in angle has to be 60° to each other to close the structure. I am pretty sure there is a very easy way to type in this value with the aid of the "rotation" panel. - But somehow I could not figure out how to open this panel while copying the circles. So I had to improvise by adjusting the angle manually with the cursor. This has to be the most difficult way since I struggled for minutes with values like 59,72° or 60,25°. To close the pattern correctly, it is necessary to get the precise round number of 60°, as you can imagine already.
If you set a new center in the beginning, you can easily copy and rotate individual shapes around it afterwards. You just have to consider the correct choice of angle to fully close the pattern without any gaps. Up to now, I could not find a clean and simple way to do so yet.
