I got everything okay until it came time to move the center of the arm so it would move in the socket. I did the control and click the orange dot but it just doesn’t stay like in the video. Did something change? What should I do?

Hi.

At the time the video course was made, this is how a Group transform widget looked like:

Details about each handle are here: [Group Transformation Widget - Synfig Animation Studio](https://wiki.synfig.org/Group_Transformation_Widget)

And now, [since version 1.4.0](https://synfig.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releases/stable/1.4.0.html#control-point-to-change-transformation-origin), it is like so:

The `ctrl`+click and drag on green handle was replaced by click and drag the new pale purple handle.

Thankyou so much. I was so frustrated. I will finish my lesson tomorrow.
