Hi there, is there a way to simply center the anchorpoint of a sublayer? For the Anchorpoint of any layer there are multiple ways to center the anchorpoint (layer transform), but not for the anchorpoint in the shape transform within a layer. Sometimes I have like 20 sublayers in one layer and I would like to fastly center the anchorpoint to the center of each sublayer. Can't find it anywhere on any forum. Thanks for any hero that know the answer!

If you've drawn multiple Shapes on the same Shape Layer, each one should have it's own Transform property with a centered Anchor Point.  For example, if you've drawn two rectangles, expand Rectangle 1 and Rectangle 2 to reveal the Anchor Point under Transform: Rectangle 1 and Transform: Rectangle 2.

 

 


As far as the Layer Anchor Point goes, select a Shape under Contents and then press command + option + home, macOS or control + alt + home, Windows to center the Anchor Point to the selected Shape, The Position values also change such that the Layer still registers where it was in the Composition prior to using this keyboard shortcut.

What do you mean by Sublayer? Are you talking about multiple shapes in a shape layer? If so, that could be a feature request.

Let us know.
