Rotate text box
« on: October 09, 2020, 05:12 PM »
After you create a text box  on a screenshot, is it possible to rotate that text box?

That doesn't seem to be possible, AFAICS

thanks.  I am not in front of the project now, but I wonder if I could adjust the angle of the screen shot/image,  Place text box. Then adjust the angle of the screen/shot back the other way.

Another way might be to use the watermark, but I have not looked into it.

Pdf editors have the ability to "stamp."

Thanks again.

the textbox doesn't rotate either way. You can rotate once in SC (or whatever amount of times to get text correct), then rotate in external software (I used Dopus file manager viewer) and save. I now have image in correct orientation with the text rotated.
