Use the Circular grid option with Show grid, Lock-to-grid and set grid origin to centre. From centre draw circle - then another concentric circle but larger - continue to draw further circles as required. The snap-to-grid works creating an identical gap between each. Be aware circles don't actually line up with the actual grid but that can be corrected by selecting all circles and using the Scale tool to resize them onto the grid. Thanks for all your ideas.
