Sprite pivot issue for Windows (fine for MacOS)

Unity Engine
1

Hi folks,

I’m having some trouble with the pivot point of sprites for windows. The funny thing is that I tested the same on my macbook and for mac is working fine!

Basically you set the pivot of a sprite to anywhere, and when you try to rotate the sprite the editor doesn’t seems to “respect” the pivot you set. I created a blank project in both (MacOS and Windows) with the same sprites, using the same version of Unity (5.3.4f1 or 5.3.5f1 happens in both version) and I get the same results: In MacOS the editor respect the pivot, and windows ignores the pivot for rotation.

For a more visual explanation, please see the screenshots attached.

At the top left of your Unity window, do you see a little button that says “Center”? If so, click it and it will use the pivot as the handle location.

Do you mind attaching a screenshot? Can’t find the button you described.

Thanks.

Thanks for that jeffrey, but that doesn’t change anything when you are rotating the object. Does it work for you?
