I have been trying to make a large image move, and always spin around a specific coordinate. I read this: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/376367/?page=1#post-3771153, and tested out the theory that a sprite rotates around the center of the canvas, and it didn't work. I think it was changed in Scratch 3.0. If anyone knows how to solve this, your help would be gladly appreciated!
NOTE: I am trying to move this large image. Shifting it off-center to the costumes canvas will not work. This image is very big, I am either switching to a blank costume and moving, or putting the costume past the validated grey areas.

Is this what you are looking for?

when green flag clicked

turn cw () degrees

glide () secs to x: (0) y: (0)

Or

when green flag clicked

turn cw () degrees

go to x: () y: (0)

If I had this problem, I would shift my image to be off-center in the costumes tab. The sprite always shifts and moves according to the center of the canvas.
Set the sprite's location to the coordinate point you want it to shift around and it should rotate around that specific point.

Edit the image's costume so that it is offset from the center. You can change the distance between the image and the center of the canvas depending on how close you want the image to rotate around the point.

Then:

when green flag clicked
forever
turn cw () degrees
end

Or:

when green flag clicked
forever
turn ccw () degrees
end

If you were looking for another solution then please specify

Thank You!, but that's not what I meant.

I meant more like, my image is moving as well as spinning, and I always want it spin from that cord.

Could you be more specific?

Note that the workaround for move 10 steps is go to x: r * cos (dir) y: r * sin (dir), using trigonomic functions.

Knowing this, we can change the dir (direction) slowly to travel in a circle.
Try this:

set [r v] to (distance to [coordinates v])
set [dir v] to (direction)
repeat (degrees)
go to x: ((r) * ([cos v] of (dir))) y: ((r) * ([sin v] of (dir)))

if that doesn't work, try setting dir to dir + 180.
