a400 Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Affinity programs are littered with tiny missing features that may seem insignificant or workaround-able but make it increasingly frustrating to use and decreasingly likely that I would ever recommend its use for professionals that do not want to be interrupted in their workflow to figure out why they can't do the simplest thing (i.e everybody). In this case it's silly, Affinity Designer does not allow me to reset the bounding boxes for an object after rotation. The only option is a temporary Cycling of bounding box style by using the "." shortcut. Upon research users are resorting to adding unnecessary layers and doing Geometry manipulation as well as other frankly time wasting and silly workarounds like exporting the whole thing to PDF and starting over just to fix the tiniest of things. This is beyond frustrating and inches me back to Illustrator so I can actually work. Please allow users to reset the bounding box to the correct orientation for an object! We should not have to workaround this in a professional desktop environment. That being said thank you to the Affinity team for everything else they do. Mirela 1 Quote

Quote I simply no longer believe that there are any professional graphic designers here. Everything follows suit. Just everything.
