Smá fljótfærni í gangi greinilega. Endilega látið vita ef eitthvað er ekki rétt.
Ég uppfærði ics skjalið fyrir Google Calendar notendur líka til samræmis.

Ég rakst hins vegar á villu sem ég var að vona að þú gætir lagað: Aðventusunnudagarnir 2012 eru rangir hjá þér. Hið rétta er að fyrsti sunnudagur í aðventu 2012 er 2. desember en ekki 25. nóvember. Þar með eiga hinir aðventusunnudagarnir að færast aftur um eina viku, þannig að fjórði sunnudagur í aðventu fellur á Þorláksmessu.

I use the following, now I understand inferior method: 1. Shift-draw a circle. 2. Ctrl+R and drag a horizontal and a vertical guide to cross at the circle's center. 3. Select the Star tool and make a star with as many rays as you need, say 360 ( Double left click with the shape tool in an empty area ). Illustrator will automatically make the star with even-spaced rays. 4. Place the star in the middle of the circle, rotate it until the vertical guide goes trough a ray. 5. Drag a new vertical guide to the center and rotate it to the first ray clockwise after the one that goes trough the vertical guide. 6. You now have a rotation point ( the center of the circle ) and a degree of rotation - between the vertical guide and the tilted one. This method is good for quick compass and straightedge constructions, but I think the Blend method triumphs them all.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10413','stanev'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('10413','stanev','Nice tips everybody !

I use the following, now I understand inferior method:
1. Shift-draw a circle.
2. Ctrl+R and drag a horizontal and a vertical guide to cross at the circle’s center.
3. Select the Star tool and make a star with as many rays as you need, say 360 ( Double left click with the shape tool in an empty area ). Illustrator will automatically make the star with even-spaced rays.
4. Place the star in the middle of the circle, rotate it until the vertical guide goes trough a ray.

6. You now have a rotation point ( the center of the circle ) and a degree of rotation — between the vertical guide and the tilted one.

Let's say a 600px circle with 12 multiples 10 x 100px rectangles: 1. Draw the rectangle, change his reference point to the top. 2. Duplicate and position his Y as 600px - his height (100px) = 500px. 3. Next, group the two rectangles and applied a transform effect. 4. On the Transform Dialog Box type the number of wished objects (12) / 2 -1 = 5 5. And set the angle as 360 / 12. Hope it helps!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('9868','tencel'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('9868','tencel','Thanks for the useful tips, here it is my process I think it worth to share.\r\n\r\nLet\'s say a 600px circle with 12 multiples 10 x 100px rectangles:\r\n\r\n1.
