I spend more time than is healthy aligning the center of rotation of objects. Are there any strategies for how this can be speeded up?
I mean one of the objects has the "correct" center of rotation, and I quickly want several other objects to align and use that same center of rotation.
Hi. You can adjust each individual object's center of rotation individually or if you want, all objects to a single point of rotation. The latter is probable done by using a guide(s) and snapping each object center to your desired key rotation point.
Have you done a quick search for "inkscape adjust objects center of rotation"?
Doing such a search, I came up with many instructions and video links.
Thank you both. After posting I did figure out the "using guides to decide where I want to put the center of rotation then snapping to there" method is just what I want. Very flexible way to center objects and re-center them if necessary.
