lovelyjubbly Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Hello - in this image, the "side front" group of objects has a rotation of 27.1 degrees. I'd like to keep this group looking the same on the screen, but set the rotation to 0. I want to do this because I rotate this group to match my seams for sewing, and then I need to rotate the group back to it's original orientation so that I can cut the pattern on the straight grain. It is far easier to do this if the original orientation is 0, rather than having to remember that it's 27.1 degrees. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

firstdefence Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Under the Select Menu there is an option to cycle the selection box Select > Cycle Selection Box You can also use the shortcut key period . This doesn't appear to be a permanent setting.

lovelyjubbly Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 thanks @lepr and @firstdefence for the tips - I will give those a try 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Darby Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) So helpful to know this, thanks. Just to add to the answer, there are two steps in Affinity Designer 2 under the 'Select' menu as shown here... One to 'cycle selection' (a), and a second step under the same 'Select menu to 'set selection' (b). This locks in you change, otherwise it will revert back.
