    Hi all,

    Started working on a project that involves a lot of rotating objects around circles and have come across an issue I have no understanding of. Subject says the issue and I have attached a short video.

    Inkscape 1.2.2 on Windows 11

    I have a notion this is some very basic thing I'm not understanding. Please help!

    Sorry, this is my first post here. For some reason the youtube video is not embedding. Will link to it.

    The center of rotation seems to have been moved up. I'd try shift-click on the crosshairs to reset to the circle center.

    Thanks, that helped. Turned out the issue was that the circle wasn't actually exactly centered on the guide points. So the rotation centre was slightly off of true centre.
