Connector prevents rotation of group of objects
Last modified: 2013-07-11 08:21:37 UTC
If a selected group of objects or a grouped object contains a connector the rotation of the selection is prohibited. Please example in attached file connector. Environment : Windows Xp, AMD Processor ; release m118
Created attachment 29247 [details] Connector which prevents rotation of object group
Reproucible. Reassigned.
AW: This is not a defect, but defined behaviour at the moment. Group objects define their possibilities defined on their content. Connectors cannot be rotated. Thus, when a connector is selected or part of a group, it's not rotatable. AW: Maybe an exception should be made here with connectors, but it's not a defect. Maybe write an enchancement request based on this one.
ALG: Taking over. when only connectors are selected, rotation indeed is difficult and currently forbidden. For multiselection, connectors should be ignored for rotation. I will also check if there is something useful with rotation and connectors if only connectors are selected.
ALG: Added support for rotate, shear and mirror at the SdrObject. Allowed these actions for editing. Adapted interactive preview to show connectors. Checked and tested. Added needed transformation to aw080 (to be prepared). Comitted as r1351648, done so far.
verified in build 1409708 on Win7, suse 11 sp1 and Mac 10.7: 1. rotate the shape only: rotated 2. rotate the connector only: cannot rotate 3. select multi objects containing the connector: rotated 4: group the object with connector: rotated All correct, close this defect
