Hi, recently I faced a new problem. When I use the trackpad for zoom-in/out the artboard keeps rotating. I don't know how can I fix this problem.

Correct answer joannem27208843

Hi I solved this problem by going to macbook System Preferences> Track Pad >Scroll and Zoom > Rotate and uncheck rotate with two fingers .

Hope this helps if there isn't already another solution that i have missed.

Hi guys,
How can I turn off, Rotate View?

In what way is it activating that you don't want? Via trackpad gestures?

I'm trying to work on a new project and I just rotating the canvas but I'm not clicking R or anything to rotate. But now I can't change it back to straight. How do I change it back without starting over and keep it from happening.

Reset the rotation by double-clicking the rotate view tool in the toolbar, choosing reset from the view menu, or using the contextual tool controls in the bottom left of the screen:

please fix. its annoying, it happens every time i need to zoom or move the canvas (NOT ROTATE), its preventing my workflow and this is just about the last straw before i cancel my membership and switch to afinity. no one asked for this. i've never needed this feature nor will i ever need this feature.

I agree that this should be a preference setting that we can turn off. "Trackpad rotate gesture rotates view"?

In the meantime, if you are using a mac, and don't use rotate gesture in other apps, you can turn it off in system preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom:

those are great reset tricks but yes I have been dealing with the same issue. If you are on a mac you can create a keyboard shortcut key too but Adobe needs to have a setting to turn that off.

Hi, maybe I just haven't found this yet, but is there a tool that will allow me to suppress or lock the rotate view feature? The new mac book pro's have a trackpad that is so large that it is almost impossible to navigate the artwork without accidentally knocking it into a 5-15 degree tilt..... If this doesn't exist, I hope it gets added asap.

Sorry, that's the only answer right now:

Hi.

Apparently, is not possible to disable the Rotate View feature.

But you can add a comment and vote there for example:

This new option of rotating the view in Illustrator is probably great for some users but it's just awfull for me! It keeps rotate when I really don't want, it makes me mad!! How can I unable this option ?

Well, Rotate View tool doesn't start working spontaneously, just don't call it (make sure to use the H shortcut for Hand, not Shift+H which is for Rotate View). You can also edit the Tools panel and delete the Rotate View tool from there.

It may do if you're using touchpad gestures to zoom.

It keeps rotating by accident and I absolutely hate it.

Yo utlizo mi trackpad y si muebo mis dedos para hacer zoom hay ocasiones que me rota todo el lienzo por la nueva función que tiene illustrator y no quiero que rote!

Cómo bloqueo esta función o cómo puedo regresar a su angulo original?

It doesn't appear there's a way to lock it. I saw that there is a feature request for a lock on the Illustrator Uservoice site. You could upvote it and add any comments there for the Illustrator team.
