Help with rotation

Hello,

I'm brand new to this program and motion software in general (as of about 30mins ago). I'm trying to animate a dial logo by having the bottom part of the needle remain anchored while it spins on an axis. Basically like a minute hand on a clock. Is there a way to do this?

Re: Help with rotation

Go to the costume and "set costume center" to the bottom of the costume.  Then, when you rotate it with the "turn () degrees" block, it will rotate around that point.

I never knew that was possible! Sweet!
