Stamp Rotation
it would be cool to have the abilty to rotate stamps from the side or corner instead of the center every time. This could be usefull for things like doors so when you rotate it it is like on a hinge. this is some thing that can easily be done without this tool but its an idea.
I believe he is talking about being able to rotate stamps (of all types?) from other than the center of the object.
Being able to set an arbitrary rotation point is one of those features that have been bandied about before. Don't recall if it has made it onto the WoF.
(Thank you for moving the thread.)

Someone did a great little tutorial on how to work around this issue for now by creating door stamps that look just as if you're rotating them from the hinges. I want to say it was Dorpond but I could be mistaken. Was a long time ago.
The gist is that you create the stamp as a square with the door starting in the center of the stamp and extending out to the edge instead of going edge to edge. That way when you rotate it, it rotates around the center as normal but the door looks as if it's opening on the hinge.
I'm sure a search will turn up the original instructions but I'm sleepy now and going home.

The trick must be to place the center of rotation in the center of the image, ie have a door where the image is transparent to one side and has the door on the other, placing the hinge in the center of the image.

Edit: (Sorry for posting this, I missed the post above)
Can you just edit the layout of the object such that you move the door all the way down and then rotate that way?

Hey guys
long time no post - I have a new job and it's been keeping me really busy..
the layout thing is cool, but it doesn't let you pu the edge of a door into the centre of the layout square... other than that it's an awesome quick work around
maybe just changing that would solve the whole thing?? at least until build 2.0

The layout window was a quick implementation but Trevor has plans on making it better. For example, it doesn't work at all with tokens that are designed for a grid200. They are just too big and we can't line them up to the cell..
Trevor is aware of it. Expect more to come.
