Funny thing with illustrator, several strategies for one result. Select the polygon tool click once, change number of sides to 3, yay you are done. your method works too.

To create concentric triangles I would: 1. Turn on your grid 2. Pick a point to drag your 3-sided polygon from (should be dragged out from a center point) 3. Hold shift while you drag - Repeat for more triangles making sure to start your shape from the same point This may not be mathematically perfect but it is optically as close as you can get. If you want 3 or more triangles evenly spaced I would: 1. Drag out one outer triangle 2. Drag out one inner triangle using that concentric method 3. Go to Object>Blend>Make and then use your blend options to specify the number of steps in between your first two triangles you want illustrator to make. You can then expand those steps and have editable triangles. Hope that helps! p.s. Thank you to C, Paul Scott, Daniel, Bobby, Schmee, Smaneal and all the other wankers who can't read and realize that they are posting the same info over and over and over. @ shadysprings – True, the align feature does not do this quite right.

So, to get a triangle you can draw a star and before releasing the mouse button to complete the star press the down arrow twice. Enjoy!

When I scale up or down a triangle, it offsets upward. I also tried vertical and horizontal alignment but that doesn't work. from what I understand, this is no easy task.
