Confined Transformation

[98XK8]

Hi all

I have what is probably a problem with a simple solution but I can't find the answer anywhere. It's likely I just haven't been answering the right question.

The best way I can describe it is as a clock face with the place from where all the hands rotate from being off centre. In effect, I have the face (a circle) to which the markers must be confined but with off centre point of rotation as the point of reference.

I need to keep the point of reference off centre but I need the markers to be contained within the larger blue circle. When I manually scale it, the point of reference returns to the centre of the face, keeping the distance between markers uniform rather than scaling them appropriately.



I hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

so basicly like a solar clock?

ok, so what needs to happen is you need to this:

make the counting lines run all the way to center reference point.
then create a circular overlay on them like this:

Thank you!

With a little manipulation of your idea I was able to get the effect I wanted. I appreciate your help.
