Problem when rotating linked .ai file in InDesign. Looks fine at all rotations except -90 degrees.

[MOD indy-go girl]

I can't figure out what is happening when I rotate a linked .ai file. It's a vector logo I created. It looks fine at 0, 90 and 180 degrees,  At -90 or 270, however, it creates strange shapes. (It's the circled one on the attached screenshot). It looks like some anchor points are being deleted. I have no idea why this is happening. I tried saving as .eps files, but same thing happens.

Hi there,

We're so sorry to hear about this issue. This could be related to GPU rendering issues as well. I would request if you can share a few more details like:

• OS and version of InDesign
• GPU installed on your system
• Is the issue related to a specific document? If yes, could you please share the document with us? You can upload it to the creative cloud and share the download link. 

Regards,

Srishti

As suggested above, this is probably a GPU issue. Under InDesign preferences, go to GPU Performance> GPU Performance (un check). Do this with no document open to apply this preference to all files.

Or, go to view> Overprint preview (on).

If these suggestions don't help, re-save your Illustrator file using the Illustrator default settings, keep it .ai or .pdf, do not use .eps.

Set your InDesign Clipboard Handling preference to Prefer PDF when Pasting. I know you said you linked the file, (which is preferred) but similar display issues can occur from pasting .ai or .eps files when this preference is off.
