Rotating

Hi Eric!
I'm having a little trouble with Duplicate & Move >> Circular.
I am rotating a centreboard -55º. I select -55º and Rotate copies. I select 1 time(s). On next click.
I click on the rotation point and it is perfect. Rotated centreboard is exactly where it should be with a 35º attack angle.
However if I select 10 time(s) and click on the rotation point it doesn't rotate around the rotation point. I do 10 times (or whatever bigger number of times) to check that it doesn't foul some of the surrounding structures as it rotates)
I experimented with a simple rectangle with a rotation point in and up from the bottom right hand corner. Perfect 1 time(s) and perfect 10 time(s)
So I converted the same rectangle to lines and shortened up the end and bottom a bit – and then tried that. Perfect on 1 time(s). Same problem on 10 time(s) – rotation point is not the rotation point I clicked on.
I loaded my test RealCADD file on to http://whisstock.com/rotating.rcad
Perhaps you could take a look and see what's happening?
