Is it as simple as creating a circle and doing step and repeat at an angle?
1 Answer
This is a blend between the outer circle and the inner ellipse.
- Draw both ellipse and circle, both with a stroke colour and no fill.
- Align their centers so they overlap.
- Select the 'blend' tool.
- Click once on the top anchor of the circle.
- Then click the right-hand anchor of the ellipse.
- Double-click the blend tool in the toolbox to have a dialog box pop up.
- In the box, enter the option 'specified steps' in the drop-down, and choose a number of steps around 20, then click OK.

This is the kind of thing I usually discover when NOT trying to achieve such an effect. Nice explanation of the steps.– StonetipJun 27, 2018 at 21:59

3What causes it to "flip" and cross over like it does? Is the order of selecting the anchors significant?– anonJun 27, 2018 at 22:14

2Ah, okay, so the rotation is provided by telling the top anchor to go to the right. Thanks!– anonJun 27, 2018 at 22:20
