Rotate artboard with all objects, when the orientation of artboard changes or directly on canvas
It's possible to rotate the artboard, but the objects are still on their old positions.
I found the is a button to bind artboard and objects for MOVING the artboard together. Why does that not work for rotation?
In the mean time I have written a small JavaScript to solve this: https://www.behance.net/gallery/125369255/Javascript-for-Illustrator-RotateArtboard
I hope, we can use a rotation of an artboard with it's objects soon in AI.

Totally agree; seems to me it should be part of the same function as scaling artwork on the artboard!

It could be very useful if in addition to the ability to resize objects when resizing the artboard, objects inside the artboard rotates when changing the vertical/horizontal orientation.

The link above is dead.
Another script solution to deal with it: https://github.com/alexander-ladygin/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/artboardsRotateWithObjects.jsx -
Lotte, can you please elaborate on this?
Illustrator does now allow to rotate artboards, it can rotate only the view of the canvas. And when it does it, the object surely are rotated with the canvas. So what do you ask for exactly? Can you make a mockup of it maybe, or just explain in different words? -
Mike, there is a more popular request about the same matter (the MOST popular here): https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/19196641-illustrator-rotation-of-the-artboard
Please vote there instead (and use search before posting — but do post! it helps) -

Quite often I'm designing something that will be printed and folded, requiring parts of the artwork to be oriented upside down.
Have you ever tried to edit text or graphics while they're upside down? It's nearly impossible.
Please add a feature to illustrator that allows us to rotate the entire workspace, including all of the artboards and layers as one. -

Currently 'move artwork with artboard' covers move and copy only. It would be great if it could also lock the artwork to the board as it rotates.

Changing Artbord from Portrait to Landscape do not rotate object correspond to artboard position.
That can be helpful if we hav many objects on artboard
