deeds Posted February 20, 2015 Author 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
Staff Ben Posted February 20, 2015 Staff 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.

deeds Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 What is your "general approach"? Quote
reminous Posted February 23, 2015 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
webplus_lu Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Any news on this topic? Thank you very much. Best regards Quote
Staff MEB Posted July 31, 2016 Staff Posted July 31, 2016 Hello webplus_lu, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) No, not yet sorry. There's several features being worked on/improved. Bear with us while we get there. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Fixx Posted August 1, 2016 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
hujikoda Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Hi guys! What's up? I am facing the same issue. Coming up soon? Cheers Quote

Norway4T Posted February 16, 2018 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? Quote
makolej Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 I'd also like to see rotating guidelines feature! Quote
