When you rotate a layer (with its ROTATION property) it rotates around the centre. This centre of rotation is called the pivot point.
This demo shows how you can move this pivot point by attaching the layer to a container layer, placing it at an offset (with the POSITION property) and rotating the container layer.
The positions of the layers attached to the container are relative to the container. When you rotate the container, all layers attached to the container rotate as well.
And when you clone the container layer (by pressing the CLONE ACTIVE LAYER button) all attached layers are cloned as well. This can be used to add extra pages.
Please note: this is a tech-demo. It is not meant to be beautiful, it is only meant to explain a concept.

thanks for the show michiel
now I understand better, as rotating the image as a book.

strangely enough I was working on a show for a club that uses just the same Idea, only this time using the DPack EPS files, but excactly as Michiel has done for the book pages. Remember you can use as many layers in the container as you want. Here there are three EPS layers and three text layers in the 2 containers that are opposite each other.

Sorry, these are all great, but I don't want to copy someone elses work. Is there any step by step instructions and visuals
as to how to create these? Thanks.
