    Default Simple Symetrical Shapes

    THIS LINK contains some common basic shapes that are difficult to create using the quick shape tool as the quick shape tool has a different method of determining the shapes centre point.

    Please use as you feel fit.

    Hi Egg what a good idea! I have posted a copy of your file here at TG so members don't have to go to another site to get your generous gift. I've also added a screen shot.

    I didn't post it here as TG has such a convoluted attachment system.

    Thanks Egg. That has always bothered me. Especially with working with star shapes and triangles.

    I've not opened the file yet, but, it seems that grouping the shape with a circle (of no stroke) seems the be the answer to this rotating problem.
    And like Gary, this has indeed bothered me over the years.

    Thanks, Egg.
