AaplMike Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Hey all. I have imported a rectangle that was rotated 15°. When I paste it in to my doc and rotate it -15° to make the rectangle parallel to the guides, the object retains a rotated selection rectangle. Not generally a problem except the size of the rect includes the rotated bounding box, which makes the numbers incorrect. Any way to remove/reset the objects bounds after rotating?

Pšenda Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Reset Selection Box—after reshaping, rotating, or shearing the shape, this option resets the selection box to vertical. https://affinity.help/designer/English.lproj/pages/Tools/tools_move.html Quote Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.4.0.2301 Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, Build 22631.3155.

AaplMike Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 Well that was easy. Thanks! Unfortunately the change doesn't "stick". If I reset the rotation, then deselect and re-select the object, it's bounding box is rotated again. Quote = Designer & Programmer = Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Can't you redraw the rectangle‽ (It is after all just a rectangle.) Or… having rotated the rectangle back to vertical, draw a small shape within the bounds of the rectangle, and then Boolean Add. The result will be the original rectangle, but with the correctly orientated bounding box. This trick will also work on more complex shapes!
