I would try to get there in two steps:
1, Modify->Move: move the small circle to one position (one of the 120 deg), by choosing the circle center as reference point in "Move" (snapping by centers);
2, Modify->Rotate: rotate the small circle, now centered on the large circle, by 120 deg with multiple copies (2, and keep the original).
BTW, step 1 could be Ctl-X/Ctl-V also.

Hi
New user here. Seems pretty good so far!
I would like to distribute 3 copies of a a small circle around a larger circle. In other words, I would like to duplicate the small circle and then place it at three locations 120 degrees apart around a large circle.
I tried the Move / Rotate but can't seem to get it to do anything other than place them seemingly randomly.
Thanks for any help.
Tom
