Rotate a View

In this topic: Hide

 

Any image within a View may be rotated to any custom orientation using the Rotate tool. A View does not have to be in Edit Mode in order to be rotated with the toolbar tools or the mouse (it does need to be to use the keyboard). However, if it is not in Edit Mode, the View will be resolved each time the mouse is released after rotating the image. If a View is in Edit Mode, it will only be resolved once when you Exit. Once a View has been rotated as desired, the orientation may then be saved as a Camera.
