Perhaps this has been addressed, but I am trying to figure out why the Fidget App does not center when I zero it.
Brandon look closely your method is not centered either.
That is one of the problems with easel it uses the bounding box center items. As I recall stars do not get centered well either.
@MarkA.Bachman This is a more complicated problem than it may seem. Ideally, one would be able to select centerpoints of individual polygons or ellipses to use as a reference, but that would be a huge change. You should probably move to a full CAD program at that point (think AutoCAD, Fusion, or Solidworks).
There are many ways to define the “center” of a triangle. In the case of stars, it probably depends on the design. Either way, I think bounding boxes are more of a design standard than a bounding circumcircle. This especially makes sense when you’re trying to fit a design to rectangular stock.
Not a problem for me, just pointing out that Brandon’s directions did not center the object as he intended.
Moved away from Easel design about 3 month in. Switched to Vectric.
Shortly after that I moved to another sender as well.
