Affiniter Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hello, how can I forget / reset the rotation of an object? Once the object is rotated it remembers it's original 0° rotation, which is mostly useful. E.g. if i rotate a shape in Publisher > convert to Picture Frame > Place an Image … the placed image is also rotated. Is there any way to rotate an object and afterwards reset it's rotation to 0°. Thank you in advance! Petr Mk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 21, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi Affiniter, Welcome to Affinity Forums You don't need to reset the rotation of the shape (now picture frame) to fix the image position. Double-click the image on canvas (to select it directly) then set the rotation field to 0 in the Transform panel.

Create a larger object over it, select both and perform an intersect operation (menu Layer > Geometry > Intersect). — Miriam and Cealcrest 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference | Call for Camera Images Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidtch Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Thanks Old Bruce for your reply but I tried it doesn't work at all. I'm on Affinity Designer. I see View > Reste Rotation (Ctrl + Alt + Maj +R). I tried : the artboard itself a group of objects an object inside and outside the artboard the function does not seem to work... My AD version is 1.10.4.1198 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I am going to guess and say that the Canvas itself is at 0 degrees and everything else is rotated. Select something and look at the Transform panel there is a section for rotation. You can see how things look like the canvas has been rotated but it isn't. Canvas at 0 degrees. Canvas at 40 degrees.

brucerod Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The above solution did not work for Affinity Designer despite selecting reset rotation. I could group it or other things, but that didn't help with what I was trying to do. I wanted to use OCR on the image, but the OCR software kept reading a scanned page as upside down. I ended up switching to the Pixel Persona and rasterizing the scanned images in the PDF and that eliminated the rotation value. How about building an Acrobat Pro type program? Preview on a MAC is pretty good, but lacks key features like bookmarks and OCR. Seems like you guys have all the necessary tools in the other apps except for OCR.
