Angle of Rotation - Problem?

[Jonopen]

So without there being a Reset Rotation Angle to Zero function with this new release, you are stuck with its creation angle being fixed.

Yes, it's another decision made without consultation, on this users forum at least.

I thought perhaps they may have hidden some 'right-click' options as with lock aspect ratio, but alas no. I did find some options, but I presume they are required only on a need to know basis!

I have a solution.

Use Text Inside to add a Auto-fit to container letter; I used W.
Make the letter invisible.
Note the Rotation Angle is now Zero.

Now use Text inside > Select shape.
Rotate the shape by any angle.
The Text Area remains at Zero and so the angle is anchored by the letter.

Rotate the Text Area by any degree and it is reflected in the Angle of selection box.

I call this the Hidden W-Anchor Parody.
