deeds Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 http://www.richmolnar.com/Sounds/Homer%20-%20Mmmm,%20donuts%20(1).wav See CorelDraw for how best to do this. Two handles for rotating, either end... and an anchor in the middle, which if dragged off the guideline to snap to a node, edge or other entity takes the guideline with it, so as to make the rotation point exactly from whence it's desired. And the rotation handles can be moved inwards/outwards from the anchor point, and also snap to anything desired. And, when not in rotation mode of guideline, an [alt+drag] action creates a new guideline absolutely parallel to the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ben Posted February 20, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 20, 2015 While I'm sure Corel has it's way of doing it, we generally design features like this for how they best fit with our general approach. I'm not going to make any promises yet on how it will be implemented, but be assured that it will well thought out.

reminous Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I'd love to see it too... Being able to rotate guidelines is something I dont use very often, however, is really, really handy in some cases! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixx Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Do you want to ROTATE guides, or do you want FREEFORM guides? If there would be "Convert to Guides" command for lines/curves it would cover this case. hujikoda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norway4T Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 In four days it will be exactly THREE YEARS since Moderator Ben said "Soon, soon". If you're a geologist three years is very soon. But in software development, three years is an ETERNITY. Rotating guidelines most designer would agree is a VERY BASIC FUNCTION... So, please: Exactly how long is "soon" in Affinity speak?
