Unproportional rotation

[Gokhan Eser]

Hi,

I don't know if this is a problem but, when I want to complete the rotation I see the distance progressing disproportionately.

For example, I edited it as 5 degrees, it needs to continue as 5-10-15-20...

Is there a problem?

Maybe rounding errors while dragging the duplicate manually? After dragging the origin use the Transform panel instead, leave the handles there untouched, just type in -5 for the rotation angle and duplicate.

Edit: To see if there were rounding errors, visit Preferences -> User Interface and have a look at the decimal places for degree.

Mmmh - tested with different settings - and even with mm/cm/m and ° set to zero I have an exact spacing.

Maybe a file with history saving enabled will shade into some light:

Maybe to make sure to eliminate rounding errors, type "-5.0" in instead? Or for any angle enter a fraction like 360/n where n is the number of duplicates needed to complete a circle. It works great for things like creating 19 perfectly spaced duplicates.

Thank you for your replies,

Yes, this is caused by a rounding error. I have tested it many times. Instead of dragging with the mouse, it's needed to use the transform panel.

The problem is solved.

Thanks again.
