I am pretty new to graphic design world & obviously Inkscape too. I just need to draw a simple circle with dots in Inkscape. I have tried all the options in the stroke style section, but wasn't successful. I have searched online about this, but found only a workable solution here. But I think that is complicated solution to do just this simple job. Is there any other easier way to draw a simple circle with dots? I really hope there is something.

Thanks in advance.

You could use a pattern along a path effect.

Here's an example. The pattern itself was simply a small circle (shown top left), which was copied to the clip board, then applied as a pattern to a larger circle:

More options:

• use a stroke with a dot pattern (requires the correct ratio between the dash length and the stroke width, and also requires rounded caps): https://codepen.io/manabox/pen/wlLrh
  


• use the polar arrangement option of the Object > Arrange dialog: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=31762
