The circle is about 2cm greater in diameter than the base, so it sticks out - you can just rotate it with your hand, matching the coordinate to a fixed marker.

Can you quickly explain what you do with the velcro? I didn't quite understand that part. Thanks again for your help.
Hi Paul, sorry to ask another question. How do you see the setting circle? Have you cut a piece out of the top rotating piece or have you done something else? I'd be keen to hear what others have done. Thanks
