6 Under Advanced Options, choose Rotate Around.
With these Deco tool options, you can create a repeating pattern of the line
symbol that is symmetrical around a point. A green guide appears on the Stage
that shows the center point, the main axis, and a secondary axis that determines
how frequently the symbol is repeated.
7 Click on the Stage to place your symbol and, while keeping your mouse button
depressed, drag it around the green guides until you get the radial pattern you
desire. The initial line should be vertical.
8 Drag the secondary green axis closer to the main axis to increase the repetitions.
9 When you’re done, select the Selection tool to exit the Deco tool.
The resulting pattern is a group consisting of a number of line symbols.
