onegex1214 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Hello, I left adobe products for Affinity because of the efficiency and how well it runs and how practical everything is. But there's one thing that drives me insane and that is that I can't rotate my canvas by hand, and I must clic 10 times on "Rotate right" to flip my canvas and draw the other way around... Obviously I could use keyboard shortcuts but the thing is I can't draw with a keyboard, I take it out of my tablet because I like to draw on my tablet as if it were paper. But I can't do anything about this rotation. PLEASE make this a thing. I must have this.. please I'm begging. Rotating the canvas freely by hand, please. Kindly, a fan custommer. chessboard and Henry Stahle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrx Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 To flip your canvas - won't flip horizontal / vertical or rotate 90° work for you? I've got rotate 90 hotkeyed which works quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessboard Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 He just wants it to work as on iPad, as a Surface is used almost the same way. Good idea I think. Using shortcuts via keyboard is only the second best way when using a touch and pen controlled Device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Is Preferences, Tools section and Enable Canvas Rotation with Trackpad of any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, unfortunately I don't even have that option. Closest is "Rotate with alt+ mouse wheel" This is getting very very frustrating to not be able to rotate my canvas with two fingers. I don't understand.. we can zoom in zoom out perfectly fluently with two fingers, but CANNOT rotate. WHY is that ? It's driving me crazy!! And for previous answers, no I cannot use a mouse or a keyboard at the same time because when I draw my tablet is like my paper I cannot drag the keyboard with it to rotate a canvas. It's unsettling. Thanks anyway, guess I'll have to wait... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Stahle Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I agree. Affinity is not made for us Windows tablet users. I use the Surface Pro 6. Adobe Fresco is built from ground up for tablet use. Not Affinity. Affinity will continue to neglect us I am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
