Use the Rotation option in Flexitive to easily rotate your element to any degree, both clockwise and anti-clockwise on the canvas. 

 

What elements can rotation be applied to?

Rotation can be applied to image elements like JPGs, PNGs, SVGs, GIFs, and Dynamic Images.

Apply rotation to an element

Use the Rotation Icon on the canvas, the Rotation Wheel or the Degree field in the Size and Position panel to adjust the element’s rotation.


On Canvas: 

Click and drag the Rotation Icon, beside the elements bounding box, to adjust the rotation. Hold shift while moving the Rotation Icon to increase or decrease the angle by 15 degrees at a time.



Size and Position Panel: 

Select the element on the canvas or from the Layers Panel and open the Size and Position panel from the left-hand side. In the Size and Position panel, scroll down to the Rotation options.




Use either the Rotation Wheel or the Degree field to adjust the element’s rotation. 

  • Using the degree field you can enter the exact degree you’d like the element to rotate, or use the arrows to increase or decrease the degree of rotation.



  • Click and drag the rotation wheel hand to manually adjust the degree of the angle. Hold shift while moving the wheel to increase or decrease the angle by 15 degrees at a time.


Rotation can be applied to multiple elements at once. To select multiple elements, hold ‘Ctrl’ (or ‘Cmd’ on Mac) while tapping on the elements either on the canvas or in the Layers panel. Apply the rotation using either the Rotation Icon, Rotation Wheel, or the Degree field.


When can rotation not be applied? 

Rotation cannot be applied if certain features are turned on, including: 


Please ensure these features are disabled before attempting to apply rotation.


Snap to All Edges

Certain settings like Snap to All Edges cannot to applied to rotated elements. If you’d like to apply that setting, you’ll first need to set the rotation degree back to ‘0’.

Swapping Elements with Rotation 

When swapping an element in for an image that has been rotated, if the new element is an image element, the rotation will be maintained.


If you are swapping in an element other than an image, the rotation setting will be removed when you swap in the new element.
