unless it has been slipped under the radar and I missed it, XDA still has no rotate document view
updating a tri-fold made some years ago [before affinity publisher] I was reminded how difficult it is to edit something when it is upside down, and how unsatisfactory it is to rotate objects that are placed in final position only to have to rotate them back afterwards; so 1990s
I can't think of another graphics program worth having that does not allow document/canvas rotate - can you ?
+1 for this feature I know I miss it.

Yes, I know this is not the answer.

I could write an AutoHotKey script so it becomes a single keypress.

.. and then again there are times when some things are 'right way up' and some things 'wrong way up' [that being the right way up for them] on the same pageQuote:

it can become very complicated; rotate view would avoid having to do any displacement, not to mention being a lot quicker
Apologies for the Thread hijack handrawn (and Xara, if you ever respond).Quote:

Once done everything rotates.
What have I missed?

you did not hijack - you addressed a different issue, but you covered that by saying you knew it was not the answer, so more of an aside than off topicQuote:

and as I said in my last post your option only works if the whole page is 'upside down' - this is not always the case, in print or in art, though I dare say maybe unusual on a website...
tri-fold was just a handy example...
the select all function does not always select everything that it should... that is the case whenever you use it... sometimes it misses things out
