Rotate a graphic element

Change the angle of a graphic element by rotating the graphic element.
IMPORTANT:
Do not rotate the PDF Viewer graphic element or PDF Add-On Graphic. Rotating an element containing a PDF document reduces the clarity of content in the PDF document and prevents zooming and navigating the PDF document on the HMI device.
To rotate a graphic element
  1. Select the graphic element.
  2. Position the cursor on a corner sizing handle until it turns into a curved double-arrow.
  3. Drag to rotate the element. A tooltip displays the angle as you rotate the graphic element. The rotation angle is based on the center point of the graphic element.
    TIP:
    Tips:
    • The top left sizing handle is a circle so that you can identify the original top left corner after you rotate a graphic element or group.
    • To rotate multiple graphic elements, press and hold
      Ctrl
      while selecting the graphic elements. Use any sizing handle and drag to rotate all of the graphic elements.
    • Pressing
      Shift
      while rotating elements constrains the rotation to 45-degree steps.
    • Rotate a graphic element by changing the value of the
      Angle
      property in the
      Properties
      tab. Enter 180 to display the element upside down. When entering a value larger than 360, the portion of the numeric value that exceeds 360 becomes the value. For example, enter 380 to enter a value of 20. If you enter a value less than 0, the negative value is subtracted from 360. For example, enter -30 to enter a value of 330.
    • The background of an Add-On Graphic may resize when rotating a graphic element in the definition of the Add-On Graphic.
    • Rotating the List Box Indicator and List Box Selector graphic elements is not supported.
    • View Designer
       does not support rotating a PDF Viewer graphic element or a PDF Add-On Graphic.
