Accidentally rotated artboard and drawing space in illustrator

Hi,

I accidentally hit a short key combo I didn't mean to, and shifted the rotation of everything on the artboard as well as the pasteboard. I'm not sure what I hit instead.

How do I rotate it back to its normal position without messing up my drawing? It seems that the entire workspace rotated rather than just the artboard.

Thank you!

Shift + H.

Look in the View menu. There is a shortcut to set it back.

Are you using a trackpad? In the Preferences > General you can turn off the trackpad gesture for rotating.

Thank you!! I didn't even know you can do that.

Had this happen to me last week. 🙂

Just figured out that if you hit shift+ H then hold shift, it'll snap to 15° intervals.
