Rotate problem (horizontal and vertical dimensions of a rotated object change)

[Kemal ERTÜRK]

Hi,

I'm writting from Turkey and I have a bad English.

This sample problem,

I was drawed e rectangle width 75mm and high 50mm. When I rotate this object 90 degree horizontal gauce still looks 75mm. Isn't it silly?

How to fix this?

 

Thanks

Welcome to the Affinity forums @Kemal ERTÜRK!

Which application are you using? Can you do screenshots (before / after rotation) or even better make a screen recording of what you are doing?

I am using a 10-day trial version of Affinity Designer.

I you look at the Transform panel you'll see the rotation value for the rotated element. So you have three choices: a) Create directly an element with the dimensions you want. In this case a rotation wasn't necessary, just other values for width and height. b) Group the rectangle. c) Use "Add" from the top toolbar.

It's the readout on the transform panel, If you rotate a rectangle the width/height doesn't change with it.
You can press this button to change the view of the selectionbox.

Yes there is such a thing. But it's not permanent. Thank you.

This was requested several times to have it permanent.
You can also group with itself to have it somewhat stick and like stated above geometry>add

It would be very good if it dissolved permanently
