How do I align the icons so they are straight up & down? What did I do wrong?

Murviper, hi.

Another way you could do this is by using Symbols

Here I rotate one Symbol round a circle.

Next, I Replace and Reset the Symbol. Notice there is no rotation.

murviper,

I believe that particular feature request may be implemented sooner than most.

Until then, you can counter the individual rotations by the opposite, in this case each following icon increasing by (a further) 360/7 degrees.

And I believe it is better to start with the top icon at the very top of the circle.

In addition to the symbol way shown by k, one of the ways from the old days was based on a blend with the first icon repeated on top of itself at the start/end.
