Rotation Handle On Hidden Objects.

Postby ragstian » Thu Feb 12, 2015 11:11 pm

Hi.

To select an object covered by another I can press ALT and click, this is fine.
How do I get the rotation handle to show on the selected hidden object without selecting another object?

Bring to top? Otherwise, I got nuthin...
Have a nice day.

I'm using Inkscape 0.92.2 (5c3e80d, 2017-08-06), 64 bit win8.1

The Inkscape manual has lots of helpful info! http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/

That one is obvious, but I would like to get the rotation center without affecting the Z-order.
Why not show the rotation handle all the time when an object is selected or have it as an option in the preferences?

found it... Shift-S

Clicking a second time on a selected object or using the keyboard shortcut Shift+S will change the direction of the double-headed arrows.

Hi.

Changing to outlines only display mode may work if the objects below don't add up to a chaotic mess.
