Take a hike Bizzle. Save your crapy concerns about posting for someone else who buys your crab. Who died and made you King of traffic?
If you have a problem notify the authorities…

I don’t have a sister, but if I did she would not waste her time posting useless crap.

TRIANGLE ISSUES.
There is another way to create a perfect triangle which suits me better. Choose the polygon tool and while dragging it use the down arrow to reach 3 angles only. before releasing the tool hit shift to make it a perfect triangle. It works for me

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

@ shadysprings – True, the align feature does not do this quite right. 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.

A perfect triangle can be made with the polygon tool, by specifying 3 sides.
