And note that your node selection will depend on how you constructed the figure. I guess it's a little hard to tell from my illustration, but it causes the right hip to move with the left hip.ДЄs before, realistic movement is very restricted, but it could come in handy.

What that does, is select the left foot, ankle, knee and hip, plus the hip of the right leg. Next select the figure, the drag a selection box like where the dotted line rectancle is. After I drew the 2 pieces (except of course, with the hip of the right leg snapped to the hip of the left leg and lower body), I did Path menu > Combine. In the 1st figure, you can see how I built it. Although.I guess it depends which nodes you select. But if you select a 4th node, for example, the.hip node, I guess you'd call it, the rotation goes all wacky. So that might work for legs and arms, assuming you draw the stick figures like I did. For example, if you rotate too far one way, the knee bends outwards (that would hurt, lol) or too far the other way.well, it's just unnatural (and painful, lol). It really very limited in range of movement, I guess kness and ankles are pretty restricted to begin with. But when you make the proper selection (which absolutely requires the 'Show transformation handles for selected nodes' button be engaged) and you rotate, the foot node stays put, and the foot either grows or shrinks, depending on how you rotate.Д«ut in the bottom example, I had selected the knee, ankle, and foot nodes, then the foot moves along with the other 2. In the top example, I had only selected the knee and ankle nodes. The trick is to select more than 2 nodes. I think I may have your solution, although I still may not understand the question. The next time you select it, the rotation center will be wherever you left it last time.unless you moved the entire selection. That rotation center (which is what I think you're calling the pivot) will be in the same place it was the last time you made the proper selection, unless you moved the rotation center. Clicking either of the select nodes toggles the different handles. And with the rotation handles, the rotation center also shows up, which is the little + in the center. After you select the 2 nodes, and you see the scale handles (inward/outward pointing arrows), click on one of the selected nodes, and rotation handles appear (arrows pointing side to side, and around the corners). If I follow the dialog in this topic, then yes. Is there any way to keep the pivot in the same spot even if I deselect and select it again?

There seem to be a small new obstacle now again though. Shh! wrote:Huh? I got the pivot to show up now, I don't know what the difference was that fixed it, but it does show up. With snap enabled, make sure snap to centers and snap to guides are selected and you can drag the rotation center point of the node selection to the guide origin as needed. With a bit of forethought, just drag out a guide from one of the rulers and place the origin *(let go of the LMB) where you want the center of rotation to be. Click again and you're back to the move/scale arrows.

Click a second time, the rotation arrows and the rotation center show up. When you click an object with the selection tool once, the translate/scale arrows show. It's a litlle problem, because there is no way in Inkscape to mark groups of nodes smaller than a path, so that location of the moved rotation center is not stored. Is there any way to keep the pivot in the same spot even if I deselect and select it again?No.
