Bend shapes around a line

LightBurn Software Questions

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

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.

Actually I can probably make that work. You’re a star! Thank you so much for the response, I really appreciate it!
