Rotation in Layout, how it works?
-
It's strange that some elements such as ellipses, rectangles and texts when rotated remember the inclination of the knob from the original position while other elements like paths and groups don't. I done some labels for tagging doors and windows in a LO sheet.
That labels were groups composed of a straight line and some text. When I tryied to align them perpendicular to the openings in a oblique wall I losed any reference because the knob reseted everytime horizontaly. It was a pain trying to allign them perpendicular "by eye". I fear there are no workarounds to this problem as I surfed the web finding no advices abouth that issue. Can you help me? -
Well, your group could change. You could have 5 items in a group, rotate them, ungroup, regroup 3 of them, then rotate. In SketchUp, you'd use the protractor tool, then rotate and snap to the line. Nothing quite equivalent in LayOut. The closest I came was to use angular dimensions to get the exact angle, then rotate the group (select, move, type in the same angle). Worked OK for me.

Oh, then erase the angular dimension... obviously.
