I want to rework this part of our old juicer and for that, I need to replicate the little slits around the center and I tried to work this by hand and it did not work. I wasn’t able to find the right function or a tutorial video. I would bet there is an easy feature that can support me. Can somebody help me to find the right way to work it. Thank you very much!  
Best Mick

Use the move/rotate tool. Select the slit to be moved, goto the move tool, move the center dot to desired axis. tap on the little + symbol to duplicate the part/drawing element. move copy to desired degree and repeat. If many copies needed, repeat above a few times, stop and select those elements as a group and repeat above process.
