Animating Gears & Gradient Fill

[jamesmc]

Thanks for Posting Your Findings... When you put the Rulers 'dead on' you me the 0,0 point at the Center of the Gear?

Yeah.

If you look at the handles (actually the skew handles) on the top and the bottom, the center of those is center on top and sides. You then drag the ruler guides where they are exactly dead center of those handles and you should get the center of the object where the ruler guides intersect.

You can the drag the object origin point where the ruler guides intersect.

That would be the centered location for the object.
