Latest version resolves this. Update to 25.4 and in Prefs > General, deselect "Trackpad Gesture to Rotate View".

Please can you offer a way to lock the rotation. It's a great function IF you need it. But I don't, I only use ai on my laptop and can't seem to make it through simple tasks without accidentally rotating. Rotation is too close to zoom on trackpad. Please can you add a lock artboard function.

Scarlett, actually yes everyone does want this. Real simple, don't click the rotate tool. Problem solved.

Please allow a way to disable the Rotate Canvas. Not everyone wants this! I don't! and I can't stop it from happening when I'm using my Wacom Tablet.

Please include a setting to disable Auto Rotate. It's driving me crazy. Thank you!

FINALLY ! something that prehaps resembles the UCS, autocad offers... if only it could rotate the orthogonal shift restrictions to align with the rotated view (!!!)
in practice this feature sprung into operation without my explicit desire (albeit my command...) panning WITH shift . .. naughty boy! omg wtf didido #404

Hello! Is there a way to disable or lock this feature? I keep rotating everything by accident and it's happening so frequently it's affecting my productivity. The trackpad command is almost identical to zooming in/out making it very easy to trigger.

Hi - is there an option to lock to prevent the rotation? It is extremely sensitive with magic trackpad. Thanks!

Hey,

how do i disable the rotation via trackpad? Happens by accident too often.

@dbiscs hitting the ESC key should return your artboard back to default view.

Hi, I think there may be a bug with the art board rotate, or I am doing something wrong. I rotated the artboard and now it will not return to 0 degrees (straight) it will only do angles, basically anything but straight. It appears to be snapping to any non straight angle and I can no longer work on my project now as is it stuck at a permanent angle.

@Roshi Kasliwal I'm pretty sure you can fix that error message by updating a Logitech driver on your system.

The update is great but after the update, the error for javascript keeps popping up.

Thanks!

Thanks! This has been long overdue and very frustrating, but for me one of the benefits of waiting is how exciting it will be the next time I really need this, and its finally there. Looking forward to that moment.

Flipping the artwork is already available in Illustrator

I think being able to quickly flip the canvas is missing. It's so crucial to see sometimes if your design is balanced to be able to see it flipped. I don't want to always have to transform- reflect my designs to see if they work. Sometimes it's difficult with many layers. Just a quick flip canvas preview would be so awesome.

Need it in the primary version.

Should be added in AI

L'intérêt serait de pouvoir faciliter certains gestes, ou de visualiser l'illustration sous différents angles.

This feature very nice!
but It works so easily. I wish it was difficult to operate.
