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?!

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.

Hi LilGames,

I am working on a PC with Win7 and tried to reset the canvas rotation in Animate CC
for more than 15 minutes. Finally double clicking the rotation icon in the toolbar using
the RIGHT mouse button made it. Hope that Adobe changes this behaviour in future
releases to something like holding down the CTRL-key while clicking on the canvas
when in rotation-mode...

Hi,

Just to make it clear, you can use Center Stage button or View > Magnification > Center the Stage menu to reset the stage rotation. You can also double click on the Rotation tool to reset the stage rotation, on Windows there is a glitch right now that requires you to

either

-double click on the Rotation tool when the fly out menu is open (first click opens the fly out menu then double click).

or

-when Rotation tool is selected in Tools panel select some other tool say Selection tool and double click on the Rotation tool

Thanks!
