Rotation snapping

[Hunnicutt]

I just figured out how to change the rotation point of a shape so that I can better rotate a shape to align with another one. One question I have, is that it's very hard to get the points of that shape to perfectly align with another, because I don't get a snap.

Concrete example:

Here, I'm rotating a triangle so that the top point meets the adjacent point of another. I have to scroll in a lot with outline view displayed to get it as close as I can. Is there a way I can set it so that I get a snap when I rotated the shape near where I want it to be?

If you can tell us which Affinity application(s) you have access to, and give us a wider view of what you’re working with, then you should get some good techniques. (At the moment it’s difficult for us to guess what you have and what you want to do with it.)

If you have Designer then try the Point Transform Tool and look at the status bar for modifier key hints.

Forgive me, that slipped my mind to mention. I'm in Affinity Designer.

I found this to work in a strange way, but it worked regardless. Thanks for that tip!
