hello everyone, i'm wondering how can i centering my svg object exactly in the center of the screen.

I give a style for my svg like position: absolute, top:0,left:50%, transform: translate(0,-50%). how can i move it to the center of the screen with gsap?

Hi and welcome to the GreenSock forums.

 

 

I think its best to just let GSAP handle the translation and positioning like so

TweenMax.to("svg", 1, {left:"50%", top:"50%", yPercent:-50, xPercent:-50});

In the future please consider providing a CodePen demo as it helps us better understand the issue. 

 

Thanks

I was having issues with the arcs going off the page when rotating. I finally just changed the viewBox in the SVG. So would it be better to let GSAP do this? Also for scaling?
