Hello everyone,
Hope someone can quickly help me out. I was working on a map for a new adventure starting tomorrow and I was working on it fine last night. I saved it shut it down and went to bed. Upon loading it this morning, I am unable to rotate objects. I was using 1.3.9 I think. Since it wasn't working, I downloaded 1.4.0.3 in the hopes that it would solve the problem however it has not. I can drop the tile pieces into the background, set the background, but am unable to set the facing of any piece.
Basically no matter what I use (tile, library image) I can flip it upside and clearing the facing, but can't rotate it left or right. The layer does not matter in that all the layers seem to have this problem.
Basically a crude pictograph. If this is the original tile
--1--
-----
-----
I can rotate down

--1--
but not left of right
----- -----
1---- ----1

If I clear the facing, it resets. Can any help me or tell me what I can do to rotate?
Thanks

Re: Unable to rotate
It is top down. And it isn't just tokens, but everything. I am attaching some pictures to help show what I mean.
So the bottom picture is the tile I want to use. It currently has the main tunnel leading out on the top. I want it to be leading out the left side (rotate 270 degrees). I can only flip it upside down or 180 degrees (top picture).

Re: Unable to rotate
The control key lets you rotate in smaller units.
Hold it down while you rotate.

Re: Unable to rotate
Right click-> Set Facing.
I will try that.

Re: Unable to rotate
I usually use shift-mouse scroll. That will rotate based on your facings settings in Preferences (edges/vertices). Holding the ctrl-shift-mouse scroll will rotate in smaller increments. I think in 5 degree increments.mightymconeshot wrote:Right click-> Set Facing.
