Rotate Page Idea - 45 degree

Jesse Weaver · 2025-06-27T14:18:01+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Currently, the rotate page option only allows you to rotate in 90 degree increments. Recently I was marking up a drawing set that had a large portion of the building on a 45 degree angle. Consistently rotating markups becomes cumbersome, and some items (like hyperlinks) are not able to be rotated.

If you were able to rotate the document by 45 degrees (or any custom angle) while working inside it, you would gain a lot of efficiencies.

This could also just be a Rotate View option, where you can enter a set degree rotation, or select a line and have the view rotate so that line is horizontal on the screen and all markups are made orthogonal to that view until you reset it back the global view. We don't necessarily need the page itself to rotate, that's probably a limitation of a pdf file anyway to choose only between landscape/portrait, I'm assuming.

I like this idea better because it doesn't confuse the print orientation. Although you may want to print sheets in a rotated format so that would require added "white space" to make the new view a rectangular shape.

You can do this with page setup

Thank you, I missed this when searching for a solution. Unless I am missing something, this will allow you to work in a 45 degree view, but your markups will not rotate with the page when you return the view to normal.

Agreed, this would be very helpful

Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
