Power duplicating around a centre in Designer

[Yarahashimoto]

I am trying to duplicate a shape around a remote centre (such as the number around a clock face or petals around the flower centre)

Can anyone explain how to do this on the iPad - thanks

Here’s a quick video for you. Let me know if any of the steps are unclear.

Thanks Alfred, I must be thick, but still cannot do it!

When I draw the teardrop (using the tear shape tool) I do not get the crosshairs in the centre. I get a red dot but no crosshairs.

I can get the crosshairs if I tap the point transform tooI, (3rd one down), then I can move the crosshairs up. BUT the drawing now shows white nodes plus the crosshair above. It does not look like your figure with 8 selection points. And if I go to the selection tool, I get the 8 selection nodes on the tear, but the crosshair disappear!

Is driving me nuts

You need to turn on the 'rotate target point'.

Alfred, I am very grateful, now I get it!

That helped me a lot, many, many thanks

You're welcome, Yarahashimoto. I'm glad @DM1 was able to help out!
