What's going on with the rotate feature?

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I'm trying to rotate a small circle along the arc of another larger circle by selecting the center point of the big circle. However, the trajectory of the rotation is very strange. As seen in the pictures, the rotation follows the trajectory perfectly at the top and the bottom of the large circle, but is narrower at the sides. I thought that perhaps the smaller circle is offset a bit to the right but nope - it's closer to the center than it should be when rotated both 90 and 270 degrees. I was only able to post screenshots for 0, 90, and 180 degrees. Thank you!

Does anyone have an idea as to why this might be happening? Thank you.

FIXED: Sorry, turns out I was pointing to a point outside of the plane. I can't seem to delete this post.

Hi! The behavior does not make sense. It seems that there is one constraint missing. Please share the part here, so that the forum experts can take a closer look.

Many thanks!

Hi Johnson;

The OP has said (at the bottom of his post) that he has solved the issue himself. 

There was a post recently about the arc aligned Sketched Text (Geometry text not centered). You had participated in it but abandoned since than. Yet, I believe - there was an interesting issue raised in there. And your absence in that post feels like unfinished business.  Would you care to have a look at it again? 

Thanks,

Igor.
