Do one of the following:

In the Layers tab, click-drag the name of the object that you want the other objects
to circle around, and drop it in the Object well of the Orbit Around Dashboard or
Inspector.

In the Layers tab, drag the name of the object that you want the other objects to
circle around, and drop it onto the Orbit Around behavior.

Important:

Dragging an object to a well may be tricky—be sure to click the object

name in the Layers tab and immediately drag the object to the Object well (without
releasing the mouse button). The behavior must remain active even though you are
clicking another object in the Layers tab. If you click the object in the Layers tab and
release the mouse button, that object is now selected, and the behavior’s parameters
are no longer displayed. This behavior is true of all wells, including Mask Source and
Image wells. To show the Orbit Around behavior parameters again, select the Orbit
Around behavior.

Drag object to Object well. The object can be dropped
when the arrow appears above the well.

When the object is dropped, it appears in the Object well.
