When you rotate an object, it doesn't remember it's previous orientation.
For example, if you draw a square, then go into the selector tool and key 45 into the rotate box and hit enter, the square rotates, but the angle returns to 0.
What he's asking for is that an object remember it's angle. So when you first draw it, it's angle is at 0, and when you rotate, it's angle changes but the toolbar always knows what angle it's currently at. Thus you could go back to the toolbar later and enter 0 in the rotation box and get the shape back to the way that it appeared when you first drew it.
This signature would be seven words long if it was six words shorter.
Hi,
Then rotate and then select quickshape-tool instead,there the angle will be shown.

Unfortunately that doesn't work for anything that's not a quickshape or for a quickshape that's been converted to editable shapes.
This signature would be seven words long if it was six words shorter.
I thought that was the point,other shapes you just want to fit into place
So the angle notification isn't that much needed.
But you do have a point about the angle should remain in the field for direct editing.

gets my vote - I import scans and orient them a lot - traces too - as i put pages together - be very useful if the angle was remembered
