Am I crazy, but could you used to be able to rotate objects in FTV by exactly 90 degrees by pressing ctrl while rotating? If not, anybody know how to do this besides "eye-ballin-it"?

Use this button located on the toolbar, see attached figure.

That button allows you to rotate, but I'm looking to snap to exactly 90 degrees; sort of like when you hold shift to draw a perfectly horizontal or vertical line.

I saw there was no reply to this, but if you hold shift while rotating it will snap in the general direction you rotated in if you're close to a 90. Found the thread googling for how to do this and figured it out.

Hello there! I have trying what you suggested but I cannot manage to rotate over its own axis. I want to rotate in place not the whole object. Its weird how this simply option/tool is not available to the naked eye, considering how usual this is.

Any clue ? Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Not sure I understand what you are trying to do. The rotate function isn't a 3D rotate. It is only 2D so you are limited in what you can do.

Thank you for your kind answer. I now understood that Images that have been imported, cannot be rotated to change where they are facing. I had to copy the img that I wanted to rotate to paint, do the rotation there and then import it back without background.

Thank you for your assistance!
