I'm building a set of actions to help myself create pie charts, one segment create a line segment at a certain point (from the artboard center out), and the attempts to rotate it around the same point (the artboard center). However, when I runcopy and rotate again a different amount (I am using modals to set the actionexact angle each time), and then again twice more. The issue is that each time the segment rotates the rotation origin changes as it seems to select a random pointis relative to rotate aroundthe line segment, rather than the global space of the art-board.

Is there a way to either
A) Create a static rotation origin (perhaps tied to another object)
or B) calculate the new rotation origin based on the amount of rotation within the action itself.

Any suggestions? Also, open to alternative solutions rather than actions, I need to create a large number of uniform pie charts with varying segment values (the chart tool winds up taking far longer)
