Setting the transform origin

Using the Origin position area of the Tool Settings: Transform panel, you can transform a selected vector relative to a specified origin.

To set the transform origin by which you want to reposition, resize or rotate a selected vector:

  1. Select the vector you want to transform.
  2. Click the Transform button.
  3. In the Origin Position section, the co-ordinates in the X and Y boxes show the current position of the transform origin. Set the new origin about which you want to transform the selected vector in one of the following ways:
    • Select one of the nine options on the rectangle diagram to set the origin to one of nine pre-set positions. The coordinates of the selected position are displayed in the X and Y boxes.
    • In the X and Y boxes, enter the X and Y co-ordinates of the position you want to set as the origin, then click Apply to set the transform origin.

    You can now transform the selected vectors about this origin.
