I don't think you are Jonas, a lot of this is still very meh.

Bugs me like crazy that like you and Andrew posted, things are oriented towards the original orientation which is just plain silly. As a packaging designer its nice that I can check text without straining my neck but aside from that, it feels very unfinished and I find myself not using it much because of it. The zooming/shifting/moving bit is just way too irritating.

Love the feature that you finally can rotate the view in Illustrator. However – after rotating the view, for example 90 degrees, the arrow keys are not adjusted to fit this particular view. When I hit the up arrow key, things move to the right instead and so on. Same with ruler guides, try to make a horizontal guide and it makes a vertical one. Why isn't it like in Indesign where when you for example move something to the left, you hit the left arrow key, regardless of what angle you are viewing? Or am I missing something here?

Go to menu File -> Document Rotation-> 180*,90*,90*CC

This is half-working. You can rotate the view, which is great, but now zooming using Alt + Scroll Wheel zooms relative to the un-rotated canvas, so it's less great. Any fix? Windows 10, CC 25.4.1

pressing esc resets it the canvas rotation issue!

I've turned this off but my canvas is now stuck at 5 degrees, EUGH how irritating!

Maybe try restarting creative cloud app? It should be listed under updates.

25.3.1

I'm not showing any option for an update.

25.4 has an option to disable Trackpad Gestures. Do you have this version?

I scrolled down but the only thing I see is "trackpad gesture to rotate view".

I don't have that anywhere in my preferences.

SCROLL DOWN. There's an option to turn off. Everything will be okay.

CAN YOU PLEASE ADD AN OPTION TO TURN THIS OFF.

I am constantly hitting it with my Wacom board. I see a lot of other people are having the same issue. I have no need for an Artboard rotation and it is extremely frustrating when it does it on its own.

Thanks Simon for sharing. Some of you had reported that it's too sensitive and you are rotating accidentally. The latest release 25.4 has an option to disable Trackpad Gestures. We will work towards refining the threshold but for now please use the option to disable it if it's coming in your way.

Preferences > General: deselect "Trackpad Gesture to Rotate View".

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!
