I have a block which consists of a circle (electrolier) and arrow pointing the direction of the light. I have added a rotation parameter and action. when i close the block editor and try it works fine, But when i open a new drawing and insert the block again, the arrow rotates along a different axis. It keeps changing on me. When i create a new parametere and action, it works fine. but again when i try to open new drawing, the axis of rotation changes on me. Please Help, it is very frustrating!

(that might make a difference...) also, look in the "sharing" thread for some other excellent ideas...

I am saving my drawing on the network, and then i exit the drawing and open a new drawing, hence inserting the modified block, the axis of rotation has moved. When i try to create the rotation parameter, i choose the center of circle as my base point, then it changes.
