Thank you for the new stage / canvas rotation tool. It's great. Now how the heck do I make it to go back to normal non-rotated view?!

Correct answer Colin Holgate

There is a cross shaped icon in the upper right of the stage area. One of the things it does is to zero the rotation.

None of these solutions are working for me. I think the new 2018 version has done something weird.

I just tested it again, it still zeros the rotation if I click on this button:

Well that does look a little bit different than what I tried, but I also don't have that button on my screen. I'm not even sure how my artboard got rotated in the first place. It's not something I was going for at all and then I couldn't undo it. Had to quit the program and redo the last while's work. Is there a particular workspace that you're working from that gives you that icon? Does it have a name that can be checked on from the windows pulldown?

Hi,

You have couple of options

1. As as Colin suggested, you can use the Center Stage button or View > Magnification > Center the Stage menu. This will let you

- Reset the stage rotation

- Retain your rotation pivot point

- Also center the stage

2. Double click on the Rotation tool in Tools panel. This will let you

- Reset the stage rotation

- Reset your rotation pivot point to the center of the stage

- Keep your current stage view intact and will not take your view to the center of the stage. This will be useful if you are working on a large stage/zoomed in state and want to work on the same view with different rotational values

Thanks!

Mohan,

I tried double-clicking the rotation tool in the tools panel and this did nothing.

I am on Windows 7, 64 bit. Animate CC updated to most recent version as of Feb 18, 2016.

I have marked Colin's reply as correct since I cannot get your suggestion to work.

By the way, stage/canvas rotation mode has rendering bugs. See attached.*

Basically, if rotation mode had been used, and then I click on symbols, grey patches appear. There's also grey rectangle along the bottom of the workspace window.

I thought maybe my graphics card is getting old or dirty... but then I discovered that the graphical bug stops if I click the reset "cross" icon at the top-right of the workspace (the one Colin pointed out).

(*The image with red outlines was modified by me to make the graphical artifacts more noticable to you. The one without red outlines is what actually happens).
