Hello, I'm new here so this migh be my mistake. I tried to build a character in Animate, so while bluiding the hands I had to change the anchor points so they would rotate in a natural way. I did that but every time I select another shape, the anochor point is reseted to the old one. So I really can't build my character. Here's a short video:

Hi mate,

The elements have to be turned into Graphic Symbols, not kept as raw vectors.

In Animate terminology the point should be called Transformation point.

For a solid foundation and to avoid wasting time with bad practices, I would suggest you read these three articles:

Hope this helps!
