Hi,

I'm able to power duplicate  a shape/image across the screen (x-axis), I'm even able to move & scale across the screen as well.

However if  I add a  rotate action with the move action (x axis only), the Y axis of the shape effected when duplicated. (the Image duplicates down the screen as well  forming a circular pattern.

I have made sure my image/shape has its transform origin set to the centre.

How would l power duplicate a shape rotating (centre of shape) while moving across the x axis only?

Must be doing something silly :) Thanks

You also seem to have reported this as a bug:

Are you now saying you thinking it's not a bug? If so, you or a moderator could hide your earlier post.

Original message is now hidden.

I assume its not a bug as it has behaves the same in  V1 .

It seem a easy task  to achieve but I cannot figure out why it's behaving like this or what I'm doing wrong

You are doing nothing wrong. Apparently this is by design. I can think of a few times I would want this weird spiral behaviour but for the most part I would want the rotated and or scaled things to be in a straight line.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

There are quite a few threads about Power Duplicate and possibly undesirable behaviour, e.g. its transformation origin or its percentage (not absolute) incremental change:

I wonder what the thinking is behind this behaviour?

To me its obvious that you would want it to rotate the shape itself by default.  Is this not what the transform origin point is used use for ?

If you wanted it to behave as it does at this time,  its more logical that you would move the transforms origin point to the desired location on the screen
