How to rotate the artboard with grids?

How to rotate the artboard with grids? I attached a video how did I on illustrator. But I need to know how to do it on Affinity Designer. I think illustrator has tools more than affinity designer.

Hi Pashan,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Illustrator treats grids as objects. Affinity apps do not. Currently it's no possible to do this unless you create all the lines manually (you can use Power Duplicate to speed up the process), then group, rotate and lock them. Illustrator has more than two decades of development and a much more larger team, Affinity Designer has six years - some tools are still missing/being developed.

There’s a little ‘trick’ that I found which you can use to quickly create a grid.
The ‘trick’ part is to duplicate the first line and move that duplicate to the other side of the area, then duplicate the pair. If you duplicate the lines all in the same place before trying to distribute them they will all stay in the same place, unless you use manual spacing.
See my attached video.
As MEB said above, this grid doesn’t work the same way as in Illustrator but it’s a start.

Thank you very much for the help. I also thought of about drawing manually. It's wasting a lot of time. I think I have to do it in manually =\

Thank you very much for the video. I thought of same thing, draw manually. Thank you again, show with easy ways 😃

Yeah. But if it hasn't tools enough for the work?

When you are rasterlizing the layer how hide the grid finally?

There could be lots of ways to remove the grid but, in this specific case, with a black grid and blue-filled rectangles, one easy option would be to add a Selective Colour Adjustment, select the “Blacks” Colour and then slide the Black slider to -100%. In this case you can also select the “Neutrals” Colour and slide the Black slider down to -100% to (almost) remove a slight outline on the rectangles but that will lighten the blue a little so you might want to start with a darker blue. You can always go over the rectangles with another Flood Fill if necessary. Rasterising the layer after making these modifications may also yield a better result.
I feel sure that there will be other ways.
