Simply Rotating a Document in Aff. Designer


Recommended Posts

How on earth can I rotate a document 90 degrees? It seems insane to me that there isn't a simple choice on a menu or way to do this with one click. I have been looking for nearly half an hour, and everything I've found tells me to use a "document" menu that seems to have been removed in an update?

If you wish to rotate the entire document use View > Rotate > Left/Right. If you have Placed an an imge or wish to rotate an object, select first then switch to the Transform Panel. Here you can select the rotation point and the rotation degree.

  • To rotate the view of the document but not the document itself use View > Rotate > Left or Right.
  • To rotate all the contents of the document by 90° at once (but not the canvas) you can select all its layers & use Layer > Transform > Rotate Left or Rotate Right (or the buttons in the toolbar) to do that. (This may require unlocking layers if you select all the layers on the canvas).
  • To rotate the entire document, place everything in an artboard, make sure "Lock Children" is not enabled, & rotate the artboard by changing the "R:" value on the Transform panel. Note that you can scrub back & forth on the "R:" value label with the pointer to interactively change its value.
