Hi Friends,
I was just answering a forum question about creating a clockface, and I
used the Polar Coordinates dialog. I found that if I draw a circle, then type
out the numbers, then choose Object's Rotational Center and First Circle (or
2nd), then select all, then click Arrange, all the numbers are placed at 3
o'clock.
I found that if I move the circle before clicking arrange, it makes the
feature function properly. Should I make a bug report? Or is this already a
known issue? I searched LP without finding any similar report. But often I
might not know the proper terminology (and recently I found the wiki was being
used for bug reports (for gradient mesh)) so I just ask before I make a bug
report, just in case.
I'm on Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit, Inkscape 0.92, 64-bit.
Another issue, which is a little bit nit-picky, but still important,
imo. For some time, I couldn't figure out what object was being referred to in
"Object's bounding box" and "Object's rotational center". Is
it the object I am
drawing (such as a clock face)? It can't mean the circle, because further
below in the dialog, it says "circle" (and if it meant circle, it would have
said 'Circle's rotational center').
But after a lot of clicking around and trial and error, it seems it
refers to the numbers on the clock face example. If that's the case, it should
be "Objects' bounding box" and "Objects' rotational center".
If they had been
properly written, I would have understood at once that the objects in question
are the numbers (or whatever objects are being arranged around the circle).
Should I make a bug report about that?
Thanks for your help :-)

it to you, translating the article linked below?).

This is perhaps my fault. I grabbed the polar coords functionality and
put it into trunk so it wouldn't bit-rot further as the merge request
was getting old.
This means it's not well documented and could do with some help.

No, I mean ALL the numbers are placed all on top of each other, at the 3 o'clock
place. I know that for making a clock, the circle needs to be rotated, so the
numbers will be in the proper places. So taking the rotation into
consideration, I think they are all placed where 1 o'clock is supposed to be.
But still, they aren't supposed to be all on top of each other, are they?
As I said, if I drag the circle by any amount, before clicking Arrange, then the
numbers are placed around the circle, as expected.
Should I make bug reports for this, and the punctuation issue?
Thanks,
brynn

If your objects aren't grouped, and you can reproduce the issue
reliably, then yes, that sounds to me as if it's definitely worth a bug
report!

AAarrgh!! This was happening reproducably in a fresh, blank document, every
single time the other day. Now it's not happening. Oh well, I'll report if it
happens again.
For the punctuation issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1658397
