This will only frustrate you more. I works fine on my computer. I tried to break it but the alignment rotates move etc with no problem. I wonder it it is a graphic setting  on you machine.

Do AUDIT after rotating the circle. You'll see the alignment again. But the start point will be on its original point. Only labels will move. Rotatinng don’t work for me either. I end up modeling my roundabout in different way.

@Beka_Tchigladze  I do not know why rotating the alignment is not working for you. It works fine for me. Did you try my other suggestion in comment 14. Using a 2D circle as a template and creating a 3 point fixed curve alignment? You can then independently move both the start and end points to wherever you want them to be. Just leave a gap of 50mm or something between start an end points. You can put the 2D circle on a construction lines layer that you can set to not print and freeze if necessary.

 

Regards,

Peter
