PaulEC Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Do you mean that you're getting the result as shown at the top, rather than the bottom version? (Assuming this is what you're asking about.)

Staff stokerg Posted February 2 Staff Share Posted February 2 Hi @MxHeppa, I take it you are setting a Rotation Point and the Move/Duplicate window is ignoring that? If so, I've tried replicating this and haven't been able to as of yet. If you could provide a screen recording of your workflow that may help us see whats happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MxHeppa Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 i moved transform panel point what meaned use rotation no luck but when i move this tiny element itself rotates arround it. is bery bad if works only this way becouse is so hard put exact position even more when shapes are vectors. and i feel transform panel respection worked earlier way what i expect. and i understanded place where is 9 rectangles one what is active is bigger? and white one is default one. Also Distance parameter needs thinking is some way different than horizontal and vertical postioning even is not original topic does anyone give simple answer how is techbically differs? i seen quick tests how it affects but when understand fully its point i can use it better as well.

PaulEC Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 As you seem to have discovered, you have to set the rotation point on the object itself, not in the Transform Panel. I find that if you use Guides and Snapping there is no problem positioning the rotation point accurately. The Distance setting moves both Horizontal and Vertical settings so that both work together, rather than having to use both settings to fine tune the distance between objects.
