Dial rotating off of center

Aug 03, 2022

Hello! I am trying to create a dial with custom picture but no matter what it will not rotate on center. I have started from scratch a couple of times and cannot get this to work. Here is what I have done:

Inserted dial. Inserted globe on top of dial adjusting to be exact size as dial face. Fixed aspect ration as equal for length and width. Converted globe to dial and erased original dial. DID NOT touch center rotation point of dial.

For testing purposes, added lines through exact center of dial vertically and horizontally. Bordered dial face with box at the bounds of the dial face.

As you can see in my attached file, the globe rotates off center. I have tried this with shapes, other images, etc. with the same result.

Here is another example using just a circle. Aspect ratio locked. You can see it cross the top bound of the surrounding box.

I believe the problem is that the globe is not centered in its image bounding box. You can see this by exporting the globe and reimporting it. You will see that the left edge and top edge of the globe are properly aligned with left and top of the bounding box but the bounding box extends to the right and bottom well beyond the globe itself. Try cropping off the excess from the top and bottom of the globe image and reimport it.

I will give that a try. What about the second example where it is a circle drawn from within Articulate itself? That should have no hidden additional area of the shape.
