Transform origin jumps out of position when 2 or more objects are selected


Recommended Posts

I have seen some issues with the Transform origin that were cured in AD 1724.  I am running AD 1790 on a mac 27" 2020 with Ventura.

I find that if I select one layer I can accurately position the origin.  But if I select more than one layer the origin does not remain where it is dropped.  It ends up jumping down and to the left of the drop point.  Attached is a video and the test AD file.

I bet this is down to selecting 2 separate layers with 2 separate Transform Origins plus they are both rotated. This may be okay if you Group the two layers.

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

I had found that if I selected the crosshairs object also than the Origin worked correctly.  Except that I didn't want them rotated.

FYI in version 1 and 2 (2.0.4) this jump does not occur.  It's only in the beta.

With the two Ellipses grouped it does work.  But it shows another oddity, if the two ellipses are made not visible inside the group then the Origin disappears.  Though if the group is made invisible the Origin remains visible.  But I see that that has been the case in version 1 and 2.

The issue "Transform Origin with multiple Group selections cause the Origin to become offset after the first rotation, further transforms of the origin point do not work as expected." (REF: AFD-6606) has been fixed by the developers in internal build "2.2.0.1951".
This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us.
