sal Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I want to rotate an object in around a circle. Can i assign a point in space to be my origin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Not yet. But you can draw a circle centered where you want your object to rotate from, making sure it's larger/overlaps your object, and then select both circle and object, rotate as one item, then delete the circler, or undo, reposition circle and rotate again...

Chris Heath Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm hanging out for this feature as well. I rotate objects quite a lot around a point set outside the object, and had tried using the larger circle technique a while back, but it's too fiddly (fine for one offs). I recall Freehand had good rotation tools, and for now I'm liking iDraw's implementation for snapping the origin to a grid or guide intersection or object point, entering the angle of rotation and rotating duplicates easily. In addition, being able to set the origin using coordinates would be useful.
