Hi, to check it wasn't an issue with the photo. I created a rectangle, used the freehand selection tool to create a select a a corner and pressed cmd J to create a new layer from the selection. Nothing happens except it copies the complete layer. Works fine on my iPad my not Mac. Mode selected is new. Am I doing something wrong. Thanks

@gdenby I tried to anchor the attached file (Untitled2) but when I add the SVG to a button in the database it still comes up on the top left. I've another SVG 'a padlock' and that scales from the centre but I noticed when I opened it in BBEDIT is has a function that scales it from the centre. I'm not sure if I'm exporting the file to an SVG format correctly. I've attached files so you can see. Thanks Untitled2.svg Padlock 2.svg

I think what I'm trying to do is technically called 'scaling around centre point' So when I export to SVG scaling occurs in the top left as default and I don't know how to change that.

@gdenby the problem is I've created an SVG icon to use in a button but if I want it to be larger it starts from the top left and grows. I was trying make it grow from the centre. It's like it's anchored to the top left and I can't change that. I think what I'm trying to do is technically called 'scaling around centre point' So when I export to SVG scaling occurs in the top left as default and I don't know how to change that.

Hi folks, I'm new to the forum and perhaps not searched in the right place but I'm trying to expand SVG icons from the centre as opposed to the top left. Also need to export the file for use in a database. thanks
