Hi Brynn,
does it work if you uncheck the option "Rotate objects"? Looks like your objects are already rotated before you place them on the circle.
Rotating them a second time is probably not what you want.
Kind regards, Maren

Hi Friends, I've been trying to use the Polor Coordinates tab of the Arrange dialog, to move some objects which are arranged in a circle, inward (or outward) without scaling them. Yes, I know it can be done with radially tiled clones, but I didn't want to do it that way this time. Attached is move-rad6.png, which is the "before", and I want to move those 6 objects toward the circle. No matter if I use the object's bounding box for the anchor point, or the rotational center, the result is the other attached image move-rad7.png. This is the same result, no matter if Rotate Objects is checked or not. This is on Windows 7, 64-bit with Inkscape 0.91, 32-bit, exe installer. I haven't tried in Inkscape 0.91, 64-bit, but I can if necessary. And these screenshots were made on layer 3, to avoid the transform attribute issues (which are mostly fixed, but not in 0.91). Another user on Windows 10 does not see this issue, but Idk which Inkscape version he uses. (http://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?topic=307.0) I work with circles and objects arranged in a circle quite often, and have always wished for a way to move objects radially, in the same way that nodes can be moved radially by using the transform handles. Again, I know how to use tiled clones, but it seems like there should be an easier way to just move the objects on canvas by dragging them. I'm not technically aware enough to be able to suggest how it could be done. But I think would be a very useful feature....especially if it could work on ellipses as well. Meanwhile, I report this problem in case it might be a bug. Let me know if I can provide any additional info :-)
Thank you very much, brynn
