Hi I've been struggling for 3 weeks on this and I can't see what's going on. I've watched videos and read blogs.
I'm trying to create a circular slide rule, as such I need to create 'tick marks' around a circle at exact degrees.
I have managed (read struggled) so far by drawing a single line at 0, then dragging the anchor to the centre of the document (why oh why can't it snap to the guides!?!?) and then specifying the angle of rotation in the transform box at the top of the document.
I know that CMD+OPT+SHIFT+T is supposed to copy and repeat the last transform but EVERY single time I use this I end up with an ever increasing spiral moving outwards from the centre with each copy.
Now I KNOW that it repeats the last transform, so if you moved it immediately prior to doing the initial copy with CMD+OPT+T, then it will 'bake' that translation in. But I've closed Photoshop, re-opened it, had my 'tick' mark line vertical at zero degrees around my circle, then used CMD+OPT+T to duplicate it, then drag the anchor back down to the centre of the screen (setting it at exactly 1024.0 by 1024.0 = my image is 2048 by 2048) and then typing in the rotation angle I want, and then clicking the Tick to confirm the transform. And the press CMD+OPT+SHIFT+T without EVER changing the transform in-between, and it STILL spirals away from the centre!
Please, can anyone help me? I've literally spent days of my life making these damn tick marks line by line.
And if anyone can tell me if photoshop can lock or snap the anchor point (for rotation) to the guides, please tell me.
Thank you for reading, I hope my explanation was clear.
