Pivot point keeps shifting
I'm attempting to create a Flash Puppet animation for my short film done via FlashPro cs6, and, obviously I'm using Tweens & Symbols.
My character's already rigged and ready to go, but whenever I apply a Motion Tween on a Symbol and try to edit its pose via from Stage or Motion Editor, the Pivot Point keeps shift away from the postion I set it up.

My new copy of CC has the default pivot point set to one side, rather than the center. I know I can manually move the pivot point around, but this is not always exact. Is there a way to have AI determine the exact center and then make this the default?
s,
We are not talking about the Reference Points in the Transform palette, are we?
In any case, you may consider the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Hi all,
I'm using InDesign CS5. I know that with the Rotate Tool, I can not only rotate an object, but change the position of the point on which it rotates. I'd like each object in my document to remember where I placed the pivot point...but every time I deselect the object and reselect, the pivot point always moves back to the center...
This is a long shot, but is it possible to keep the pivot point where I place it?
Thanks!!!!gmannib wrote:

One common workaround for this is to group the object with a larger one whose center is at the desired location, and rotate larger one. One downside might be if the larger object interferes with text wrap etc. One way to deal with this might be to put the larger object on its own layer - InDesign can group across layers; hide the layer when it's not needed, and enable "Suppress text wrap when layer is hidden," in the layer options dialog box.

Registration and pivot point issue
The pivot/rotation points default back to the center of the symbol when I drag them from the library for later use.
Here's what's happening. I create a symbol, double click to edit and set the registration point (the cross hairs); the pivot point (the white dot) automatically moves to the registration point. Great! When I drag the same symbol from the library to the stage in a later scene the registration point is the same but the pivot point has defaulted to the center position of the symbol. How do I keep this from happening? Am I leaving out a step? Help, please!Never mind. I think I figured it out; create the object on the stage, edit the registration and pivot points in the symbol in the library, return to stage, right click symbol and 'set transformation point.' I might be able to set that last action as a hot key.
Thanks for all your help. You should write the manuals. -
Hello
I seem to have an issue using 3D layers in Photoshop CS 4 ext.
You see I have a layer which I convert to a 3D layer and I want to rotate the element however I would like to move the pivot point which it rotates from. I am unable to do this. I can not find the pivot point and I am not sure how PS generates the coordinates of the pivot point. This should be a simple task.
Thanks
Cheers
S.Hello Bart
Im not sure how your pulling this off. Could you please provide me with acurate step by step on how you are able to do this? cause I am still not able to get a pivot point from a 3D layer.
Thanks

Mouse pointer keeps disappearing using trackpad
hey guys ive just purchased my mac min and my mouse pointer keeps on disapearing any ideas?
Thanks Linda but I'm not using a wireless mouse - or a USB hub. The issue occurs if the mouse is plugged into the apple keyboard or directly into the Macbook Pro.
BTW, if I switch to other open apps or to the Finder the mouse appears - but disappears when switching back to Fireworks.
This is a really frustrating issue as I can't use CS5 - any other ideas?

Using cs3 with Windows7, it's been hit or miss lately on whether or not I can adjust the pivot point when doing select, edit>transform>rotate. Working with a photo yesterday, on several occasions when I tried to adjust the pivot point the entire selected area would move; other times, I was successful in moving the pivot point. I was working with a .png file but encountered the same problem after converting it to a .tiff. Even more frustrating was the fact I could adjust the pivot point on one area selected on the photo, but not a different area on the same photo.
Anybody have any thoughts on this problem?martin white1 wrote:

hi all,
is there a way to change the pivot point in "rotate 3d" (timlines/add action)?
i have no problems to set a new pivot point with the transform/rotate tool. works well.
but in rotate 3d it rotates around the center of the object.
an example, think of a picture that rotates around a pole.
have a creative dayThank you for the reply.
Unfortunately it doesn't answer my question.
I DONT want to animate rotating around the center. I have offset the pivot of an object and rotated around that from state 1 to state 2. But the animation interpilation ignores this and still rotates around the center of the object to get from state 1 to 2.
I want the object to swing in to the canvas from its bottom corner but I can't get it to honor where I put the pivot during the actual build of animation.
I am beyond frustrated with the limitations of Catalyst. If I have to go to Flash Builder to add any type of specific function, whats the point, as FB
is 10 times more complex to me than Flash ever was. The reason I am not messing with Flash is that I don't want to screw with code.
but I guess I might as well just stick with Flash as in Catalyst
I can't
Use Gifs
Animate around a changed pivot
Scale a bitmap thats a button (come on really...)
Unreliable results with swf files that have multiple bitmap images in them.
Any type of slightly advance animation, such as ...move a background around to loop, when I am in a static state. -

It doesn't matter if you want to rotate the cylinder or to
modify its height.
If you cannot alter the pivot (of any 3D model) in your 3D
modeler, James gave you a good advice.
In your case, all you have to do is to modify the scale (on
the desired direction) of the group.
The cylinder (a child) must obey!

My pointer keeps turning into a colorful spinning pinwheel. Mac OS X(10.5.8) using a wireless mouse and keyboard ,desktop computer.
The spinning wait cursor (or "beachball") generally means there's some problem that's causing the current app to freeze, or slowing down the current application, or that's slowing down the whole system.
Here's an overview of the spinning wait cursor.
Make a backup first, using the Disk Utility tool booted from your installation DVD to external storage. This backup to ensure you still have access to your most current and complete data, shut this be a problem with your hardware.
Then use Utilities > Activity Monitor.app and the Utilities > Console.app tools to see what's going on, and whether there are related errors being logged.

Fireworks CS5 unusable - mouse pointer keeps disappearing
Hi There,
I'm having an extremely frustrating time trying to use Fireworks CS5 as the mouse pointer keeps disappearing at random. Switching to another app and back to Fireworks doesn't fix things - restarting Fireworks or force quitting every 5 - 10 mins seems to be the only way to fix it.
Is anyone else experiencing this - or does anyone know how to fix it?
- MAC OS 10.5.8
- Fireworks CS5 11.0.0.484 (fresh Install this morning)
- Macbook Pro 17"
- 8GB Ram
Any help or suggestions would be welcome.
Cheers

How to save pivot point with free transform tool?
Hi,
I'm animating a picture, have the limbs on different layers, so I can just simply use the free transform tool to rotate them into the good position. Although it's a pain to always reset the pivot point from the center. Is there a way to make Photoshop remember where I want the pivot point to be?
Thanks,
Fisher.Have you tried recording the Transform operation into an action? I see that some information is stored about the center in there...
