Dot in a tight circle

Watch Face Studio

Do you think is it possible to create a tight circle and run a dot on the circle?
like a second hand on the watch. SMOOTH RUNNING?
Let me know please.

this is an example for what I meant…
Thank you.

If tight circle means an ellipse, then yes it is possible.

this is not possible on WFS. The only “smooth” moving element they support is second hand.
It can be made to move somewhat close to that, with like5 or 10 ticks per second.

Check attached example (unzip and open in WFS)

I will let you know soon.
I’m looking at the file… it looks lots of work for a small job. But it’s looking great.
Now you encourage me to do more work…lol…

Sorry for the trouble anyways.

Thnx again @Peter. I love your work man​:+1::blush:.

To make what your original question was, just the ellipse 1 & its copy and ellipse 2 are needed.

I just went a bit further than needed and added the little guide line just to point out the movement of the dot does not align with the second hand intersection on the ellipse and also, that it is not very smooth either.

Well well well… beautiful work Peter.
I Tried it out and I created my own with 2 ellipses only as you said… 1 for the big ellipse and 1 for the dot.
and I done some adjustment and it looked so perfect and so smooth on watch 6.
but in WFS looked a bit choppy …

But I was wondering if I want it faster? Can we use SEC only instead SEC_MSEC… so it can be faster.?

or it doesn’t work it might be too choppy?

Thanks @Peter… beautiful work you done. really appreciated…

Thanks again buddy.

No, you simply multiply the [SEC_MSEC]*N and the MSEC part cares for the smoothness
the higher N than 1 the faster, the smaller than 1 the slower
