Transform input field rotation problem

[ronniemcbride]

So I trying to get a simple isometric box going by using this technique but I can't seem to get -30 in the rotation working. What am I doing wrong? Also, what the operation syntax for presents. I mean I can figure it out with a calculator but how do i enter it in the scale field without having to resort to doing it in a calculator?  

 

 

thanks

Hi Roonie,

The inability to insert negative values in the rotation input field on the Transform panel is a known bug.

 

Regarding the second question, you have to enter:   *=86.062%  in the height input field.

Hi MEB.

 

Thanks for the response  on the syntax and the and the link  to that thread. I thought it was me. Most bugs I blame the user (myself). I am glad it was me  this time hehe. I always think I am doing something wrong first. It took me some figuring out to come up with the 330 degree rotation to get the right angle. I guess until this bug is stomped out I might just go old school make a grid template to build off of instead although that might now work as easy for curved forms. I guess I will just have to remember 330 degrees for now and  *=86.062%

 

Thanks again!  :)
