After Effects :: Placing Anchor Point At The Exact Centre Of A Circle-object?

Mar 8, 2014

Is there any way to locate exact center of a circle in after effects? I made a perfect circle in photo editing program and since layer's boundaries corresponded to circle's edges, i thought that anchor point in after effects will be exactly at the center. but it's not the case - the anchor point is at the center of a composition!
 
I imported the circle .psd layer together with other layers as a composition, does this have any importance? As i said,the circle layer boundaries corresond with circles edges, not with canvas' edges in my photo editing program. But whe i solo the circle layer, i see that the anchor point is at the center of a composition, not the layer.
 
So now i have to place anchor point at the center manualy, and it's pretty difficult to do it perfectly. when i rotate the circle, it wobbles and wobbles.

Illustrator :: Lock The Centre Point Of An Object?

Mar 24, 2014

I'm using illustrator (CS6) to animate a simple marionette type figure.
 
I'm using the Rotation tool to turn body parts around their usual connection points, moving the transform centre point each time.  I'm wondering if it's possible to "lock" the centre point for any individual object to a certain offset from the object's actual centre, so that every time I reselect an object to move it I'm always rotating it around exactly the same place.  I find that if I have to move the centre point from the real centre to where I want to rotate around every time, I'm not getting the exact same spot in relation to the object's bounds, which makes for some weird movements.
 
For example, the rectangle that makes up the upper arm should have its rotation point always about ten pixels down from the top and in the horizontal centre of the object.   The elbow right at the top edge, but also in the horizontal centre, of the lower arm.  etc.

Illustrator :: Anchor Point Of A Selected Object?

Mar 17, 2013

In PS you can drag the center anchor point of an object anywhere within the object or canvas, allowing you to rotate around that custom location versus the dead-center of the object.

Illustrator :: How To Align Anchor Point With Object

Feb 15, 2013

I have a shape I made with the pen tool, and now I want to align one anchor point of the shape with the middle of a rectangle. How can I do this? It doesn't seem like I can do what I do for objects, which is select both objects, click the object I want to align to, and hit align. If I'm not describing this properly let me know and I can try to clarify.

Illustrator :: How To Add Anchor To Left And Right Sides Of Rectangular Path At Exact Same Height

Jun 20, 2013

I am trying to add an anchor to the left and right sides of a rectangular path at the exact same height. The easy method seemed: drag a guide to the right point and add the anchors at the intersection. But this is adding the anchors to the guide rather than the path "underneath" the guide? How can I place the anchor on the path?
 
Or is there a better way to achieve this?

Jan 2, 2014

Having a lot of issues manipulating points on paths in Illustrator CC - this is a fundamental feature of creating vector graphics and it's very annoying I'm paying for this and it's just not working. Eating up a lot of my time simply because I can't select or convert or add the anchor.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting Up Point On Different Layer To Mark Center Point Of Circle?

Nov 15, 2012

I need to find a way how to insert a point or a * on the center point of a hole and put it on a different layer. The reason for this is - I am a CAD tech for a welding shop and we cut parts out of steel and we use the dxf file format for our plasma table to cut parts. For example : if i have a 1 inch thick plate and want to put a 3/4'' hole in the plate the hole will be distorted because the hole is smaller than the material thickness. For these situation we can use the plasma table to burn a point or a dot on the center point of the hole. But to do this the point or dot must be on a different layer in the dxf.

AutoCad :: Placing Circle Relative To Diagonal Line

Oct 11, 2012

[URL] ......

I'm trying to place the blue circle at the bottom of the drawing so its radius is 15mm from the mid point of the diagonal line on the right. I've been experimenting with snap points and the from command, but I can't seem to get it just right. I suspect I mess up with the coordinates from the offset point since it's on a diagonal line.

Paint.NET :: Drawing Perfect Letter O - Placing Ellipse With The Circle

Jan 29, 2014

I'm making a logo for someone by hand-drawing a font I made up.  But because I was having trouble drawing a perfect letter 'O', I'm using the "Circle/Ellipse" tool to do it.  I drew an 'O' with that tool that's almost the right size... and I wanna draw another one just a little shorter... but I can't figure out how to place the completed new shape directly over the old one.

I don't know where to start the action with the tool!  The completed shape always ends up in the wrong place. How to get my finished shape to complete just where I want it to? (Re-sizing the shape won't work because that changes the thickness of the line I used for the letter 'O'.)

Photoshop :: CS5 - Anchor Point For Cursor Seems Off

Jan 20, 2013

It's like the anchor point for the cursor is way off. I can click paint brush, and the paint will show up halfway across the page. If I keep clicking, the painted spot will finally show up under the cursor and I draw. If I move the cursor, and start again, same problem. If I enter text, the text willl appear so far below the picture, I have to zoom out so far, the the picture is a very small square. I grab the text box and move it back up to the picture, zoom back in and finish. If there is more text, I just duplcate the layer, so I don't have to go through the drill again.

Example: [URL] .....

Photoshop :: Moving An Anchor Point

Jun 5, 2008

I have created a path using the pen tool. Of course, to get things right I have to move some of the anchor points. I believe that I should be able to do this by holding the Control key down while using the Convert Point Tool. Sometimes this works just fine, and other times the whole selection moves when I try to move the anchor point.

What is the exact procedure for moving an anchor point? I am apparently missing a step so that this appears to sometimes work, and other times not.

I can't seem to find a constant way to delete just one of 2 handles from an anchor point. I can drag the handle into the anchor point, but sometimes it still remains, and can be pulled out. Other times, it seems to disappear, as desired.
 
I would like to convert to one handle only.
