jackamus Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Is there a way to re-zero an object's position after rotating it? Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

Alfred Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Draw a rectangle which completely covers the rotated object, select both objects and click on the ‘Intersect’ icon in the Geometry section of the main toolbar.

jackamus Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 The original object is a png image and when I draw a rectangle round it and select Intersect the original object disappears!

carl123 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 After you rotate the image Rasterising it will reset the rotation field to zero Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

jackamus Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 I've got nothing to rasterize because it disappeared! Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

carl123 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Go back in the history and do it before it disappears PS You don't need the rectangle doing it this way Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

If you’re dealing with a PNG image then it’s already raster and you don’t lose anything by rasterizing it again.

R C-R Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 If the object has a rotation handle when selected, just double-click on the circle at the end of the handle to reset its rotation to 0°. It should work for anything: groups, multiple selections, placed images, etc. firstdefence 1 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
