Balance point on center

When you draw a costume, the balance point is, by default, on the center of the costume. However, if you move the balance, and then want it back in the center, you're forced to guess at where the center is. I think there should be a button, right next to the set balance point button, that restores the point to it's default center position

Re: Balance point on center

Just copy the sprite? I'm not sure.

Copying a sprite keeps the balance point in the same spot  sad

Re: Balance point on center

1) Make sure BG is white and no other sprites are showing
2) Right click (on stage)
3) select 'grab screen region for new sprite'
4) drag box over sprite
5) copy costume of newly-created sprite to the old sprite

Congrats, you now have a workaround. A very simple one, at that.

Re: Balance point on center

But thats quite a bit harder than just clicking a button, right?
