Jessica1468 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi, I'm doing some work with maps and compass readings, and I need to confidently know that I'm rotating things in the exact number of degrees. I just got the new update today. I see roll/rotate has 3 different sections of options - not sure what those are. I tried just adjusting the top one 7 degrees clockwise, and though I may be correct, it looks like it went too far. Help, please. Thank you!

Djisves Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I have found Layers > Rotate / Zoom to be accurate. However, I prefer to use this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djisves Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Impressive MadJik, but way too complicated. I remember how I tested years ago, something like: - Draw an object on a transparent layer, duplicate the layer. - Rotate the duplicated layer 3 or 4 times, anticlockwise. Make sure the sum of the rotations is larger than 360 Degrees. - Rotate the same layer clockwise (negative degrees) as much as the sum of the anticlockwise rotation was over 360. - The object on the duplicated layer exactly overlaps the object on the original layer. QED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica1468 Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 Thank you all! I'm going to have to go with the much-appreciated confirmation that Layers > Rotate / Zoom is accurate to degrees using the top line of Roll/Rotate because the rest is beyond my understanding. I know Paint.net is supposed to be relatively simple; I guess my brain just wasn't made (or trained) to grasp technology as well as some. Thanks again.
