jlabouch Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) At the moment, When viewing a document rotated 90° or 180°, the action of the horizontal and vertical scrollbars are inverted, which takes a while to get used to. Also when inserting new items such as text, it inserts it the "right" way up (i.e. aligned with the "true" top of the document). If I'm working with a document upside-down it's usually because I'm working on a net, and I will want the item to facing the right way up on the finished product.

GarryP Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Changing the scrolling directions for a rotated document seems like a good idea to me. I’ve just tried editing a rotated document – never needed to do so before today – and the scrolling really does take some time to get used to. Maybe it could be a user-selectable option rather than a global change for everyone. (In addition to that I’m wondering if the Pages Panel should also have the pages showing as rotated when the document is rotated.) Having new layers created as though the page was already the ‘right way up’, when rotated, also sounds like it could be a reasonable user-selectable option.

only7yb Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 This problem is still present in version 2. It is very difficult to work in a rotated view because all the movements stay related to "normal" view: 1. Align icons - if I want to align objects horizontally - I have to align them vertically 2. Moving objects with keyboard arrows - if I want to move down - I have to press right arrow 3. Scrollbars are inverted etc. Also when I switch to another opened document and then come back the rotated view resets automatically, so I have to rotate it again to keep working -- this is also very annoying.

It's just the virtual equivalent to rotating the hardware display you're looking at.
