btavares79 Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Hello, I am coming from an InkScape background and the snapping I am thinking should be a normal feature in Designer doesn't seem to exist. I am just looking for confirmation that what I am seeing is the case. Please see the video. When I rotate a group, how do you get that group to snap to some guide lines in a drawing. I show in InkSkape how this works. This seems like a rather basic thing to have. Is the type of snapping I am looking for possible? Thank you 2023-01-17 14-47-55.mp4 Quote
firstdefence Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Welcome to the forum @btavares79 What you want to use is power duplicate. You are almost there so, duplicate the shape and in the transform panel you need to rotate the shape 20º left or right, so in your instance in the video you would... Select the shape Press Ctrl + J to power duplicate the shape Change the R: value to -20º in the Transform panel Now press Ctrl +J as many times as you need.

btavares79 Posted January 17, 2023 Author Posted January 17, 2023 Thank you for the response. I can do that but I was hoping snapping was an option. Thank you. Quote
