Hopefully this isn't too silly of a question here, but is it possible to mix a circular pattern with a rectangular pattern?  See the screenshot attached for reference.  What I am hoping to do is pattern that small circle along that circular construction line, but I want the spacing to be perfectly 1/2" apart as illustrated by the vertical construction lines.  The patterned circles would be placed directly at the intersection of both of these lines all the way around.

You can circular pattern a rectangular pattern or vice versa.

Hi,

A circle arrangement has equal distances between instances. However, this is not the case in your project.

That is exactly right, Guenther. I know how to equally space the instances using the circular pattern but that is not the solution that I am looking for in this scenario. I figured it was a longshot but I think what I am trying to do is a mix of both, which likely does not work. The next option then would be to manually draw each circle at the intersection of these construction lines, agree?

This is not a mixture but a special form of the circle pattern with variable distances between the instances.

Thank you for the clarification, Guenther. That sounds way too advanced for me to figure out so I think I'll just draw each one manually. Thanks all!
