AH AH AH You are faster to censor the comment than to implement the basic features that hundreds of customers have been asking for years!

Adobe call this "Illustrator" and after 23 versions NO ONE at Adobe staff never had the idea to implement the rotate canvas fonction ? Have you ever involved one real illustrator in the project to ensure "Illustrator" allows to draw illustration, using classic tool like pencil or brush ? Personnaly I don't know any illustrator who don't need or don't like to rotate his sheet to find the better angle to make his strokes when drawing. Hey, adobe guys, on what planet did you spend the last 25 years ? Do you design this soft for the illustrators or for yourself ? Stop staying in isolation between commercial and developers and start listening to the real needs of graphic designers and illustrators! If you do not know one, contact me!

It's fun not being able to rotate the art board. Not having this feature ads lots of unnecessary time while illustrating. Thanks Adobe.

For those who havent tried Affinity Designer yet. Free trial download available here

The ONLY reason I still have to use this outdated program is that I have a client that will only accept .ai files, and Affinity doesn't export in that format. But as soon as that job is over I'm dumping Illustrator. It's just too frustrating to have to work around numerous basic features that are lacking and NO support from Adobe.

Oh great mighty lords of the adobe illustrator please hear my prayer...We the loyal users of illustrator are one by one flocking to affinity designer for many features you are lacking. Illustrator lacks no artboard rotation, no brush stabilizers, no mirrored symmetry. Photoshop has these but no love for illustrator. We are quickly losing faith =( almost 400 votes and no developer update. Pathetic.

WE NEED AN UPDATE!

"Industry standard" illustration app doesn't let you rotate the artboard. Mind-boggling. When you illustrate on paper you ROTATE to accommodate stroke angle & workflow. Please, everyone, share this thread.

Seriously! Your customer service SUCKS! Just purchased Affinity Designer. I will be cancelling my creative cloud subscription ASAP. The lack of follow up is ridiculous.

Affinity Designer can do this already and if only they had a ‘save as’ or ‘export to’ Illustrator option, I would switch and save myself a boat load of money!

almost 2 YEARS!!!! come on! u don't have to send people to mars!! is impossible to develop rotation for illustrator??

You might not want to thank them in advance.. That's under the assumption they are working toward a solution. Pretty sure this got added to the "backlog" aka forget about it log.

I would also love to have this feature, but for another reason.
We often print graphics for escalators and need to have them in three pieces to fit on our vinyl.
Vertical tiling does not work for such a job, because the vinyl is not as big as it would be needed. Our RIP-Software is only able to rotate 90° or 180°.
So at the moment I have to cut the file in Illustrator to 3 pieces and rotate the middle section to get it fit on our vinyl.
So for us/me it does not depend on the view of the artboard, but the possibility to export an artboard (which can still be rectangular) in a specific angle.
I would love to add an (virtual) artboard which defines an area to be exported in the angle I want.

For further information you can contact me.

Thanks in advance

Great question. Can we get a status update Ashutosh Chaturvedi? You have nearly 400 monthly paying customers asking for this. Try customer service for a change?

Just adding another voice to this in the hope that the AI devs promote it up the development roadmap.

C'mon Ashutosh Chaturvedi what's the deal here?

I can't believe you guys havent add this feature yet when it was "added to the backlog" two years ago, when we can do in photoshop already!

Share this request with fellow users! We need this at #1

This issue has the 3rd highest votes in feature requests yet zero updates in almost 2 years!!
