Rotation mode not working out in 3.15

Post by walterd »

Why in 3.15 the Rotation mode is not working ? Simple test: in 3.14 Create an object (a couple of rectangles and a label), drag & drop in a main panel. Click on the object you can rotate using the Rotation Mode (top menu) and move without any problems. The labels are also following the rotation correctly.
Try the same in 3.15 and the Rotation Mode is greyed, cannot be used !!! That's quite strange and frustrating. Any idea why and how to "fix" this issue ?
Thank You

The "Label" you use (PrimitiveText) has gotten a new property in 3.15: transformable, which is by default false.
If you want to transform (scale, rotate) it, set this property to true
(People were always confused why scaling the PrimitiveText did also scale the font and not only the bounding box)

Thank You Martin. The label rotation is the least of the problems.
The real issue is that the Rotation Mode in the top menu, is not working at all in 3.15. Once you drag&drop an object on a panel, nothing can be rotated. That's totally different than 3.14 and IMO is bug.

Solved.
All the objects AND labels in a panel must have the property Image rotate set to TRUE and the labels Transformable TRUE.

I think that this issue should be documented. I have spent several hours to figure it. Martin hint was helpful.
