Illustrator - Rotation of the Artboard
Like in Photoshop it would be great if an Artist could rotate the artboard/canvas in Illustrator. If you draw a line from left to right it's never the same stroke as from up to down.

Rotate canvas story has been added to backlog. We will be picking it up shortly.
Thanks,

Seriously who cares about a mobile version of illustrator. It certainly shouldn't take priority over your desktop application! IMPLEMENT ROTATE ART BOARD

Adobe come on. You have added slicing and other web/digital functions to illustrator that no one is using, but not rotate art board? This is crucial for illustration, typography and packaging design and Illustrator is the number one tool for that kind of work. This is more important than creating a mobile version of illustrator.

Hey Adobe I don't design on any mobile apps along with thousands of other designers. How are we forgetting the original client base that only uses desktop applications? And, if the desktop applications are going to be secondary focus how about decreasing the monthly rate vs raising it?

Adobe has created a new Illustrator app that will be released for mobile devices in 2020 and just released a mobile Photoshop app, but still hasn’t added this feature to the desktop version? One day I hope they will add this feature! Please add it soon Adobe!

It would be great? It should be assumed as a basic function.
Illustrator is used to illustrate. Illustration is done by hand with tablet input for many of us. Being able to rotate the canvas on the fly allows more rapid illustration due to optimal hand angles.
I'm working on a project for a major US company, and lots of semi-realistic vector drawings are being created for web use. With SVG use rising, vector drawing follows.
Affinity Designer has this basic function, but Illustrator does not - and Illustrator is my only option as it's a corporate environment.
This is not a gimmick - it's a necessity. It's 2019 people. Make it happen.

Yes. It's probably incredible for Adobe team, but all the illustrators who are using Illustrator (and paying a lot for that) would really like to be able to draw with this reference software... I mean drawing with ease thank to the possibility to rotate the artboard as one can does it when drawing on real paper (or with Photoshop, ClipStudio Paint and so on...) How many year more will the illustrators have to wait before Abobe decide to fix this incredible lack ?

Simple question. Affinity Designer has this feature. Adobe Illustrator, considered to be "the industry standard" does not. WHY?

Hi Yogesh ...
With two years of hindsight, what do you think of the answer you gave us in 2017? have you done any follow-up on this request since that time? Do you remember you use the word "shortly"? Also, can you explain the concept of backlog adding , please? Is it a kind of scribbling on a flying sheet that sleeps under the dust in an old drawer? At some point, did ANYONE at Adobe (you apart) has heard about this urgent and popular feature request SINCE SEVERAL YEARS ? -

I wonder how many users (like me!) have now dropped Illustrator and are using Affinity over this and other issues? Not just the fact that the change hasn't been implemented, but NO RESPONSE from Adobe in over two years. I'm down to a Photoshop-only subscription, and if they raise the price there I'll drop that one too. Great work, Adobe!

Pretty bad that this core feature hasn't received traction by Adobe in 10 years:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/677840I am glad I invested in Affinity's products. Adobe doesn't seem to really listen to their bread & butter everyday customers.
