I want to create or customize a symbol for ArcMap 10. In particular, I need to control where the origin exists in the symbol. This will provide more control in symbol rotations. I've been using circular, or near circular, marker symbols. Naturally enough, whoever designed the symbol put the origin in the center. I want it on the boundary or perimeter. Rotating a circle around it's centroid does nothing, while rotating a circle around any other point does something! The Offset property, in the Symbol Property Editor, does not change the symbol origin location relative to the 'body' of the symbol. What Offset seems to do is move the symbol (and it's origin) x- or y- screen units from it's plotted position. An offset circle with a rotation displays exactly like an offset circle with no rotation. Any ideas?
