duplicate just on the same axis

[bediicco]

I want to duplicate an object to the right, same hight, rotate by 25 degrees and duplicate again - on the same axis. But it rotates around a circle. Why? How to duplicate on the same axis, just with 25 degrees, 50, 75, 100, ...

 

I've tried all kinds of ways and objects but I don't understand. This would feel ok to me if it is locked to the top left corner.

I am on iOS 18 beta, cannot reinstall, if this is the problem please just give a short comment.

First create the duplicates in same position, then use transform tool to distribute along one axis.

It happens on the desktop, too. So it is unlikely to be an iPadOS beta problem, but I would still recommend not running the iPadOS betas unless you're an application developer who needs them for testing your application. You are likely to run into issues with Affinity and other apps that are not yet prepared to run on the unreleased iPadOS release.

I have no idea why it happens, and am puzzled by that.

This is default behavior and as designed. All movements are executed combined, relative to the original position.

you can’t move and rotate at the same time along a fixed axis. Whenever you enter a rotation, it will rotate around the origin plus the distance you entered.

But why does the rotation about the center change the Y coordinate if you only moved along the X axis? 

(Or is this perhaps some effect of the difference between the bounding box and the standard box?)

@walt.farrell it was a mistake to enter the iPadOS 18 beta. The Apple beta system is annoying. My Macbook backup is broken, it cannot download a file it needs from iCloud. The beta is so buggy at all, but i need to wait till it is released because of this corrupted beta reinstall.

Probably you used duplicate before, without starting freshly. Power-duplicate memorizes any transformation. When you see that power-duplicate does move the object in any way when used first, use copy once to get a fresh start.
