Allow to enter value into Rotation properties

All shapes have Rotation property, which can be changed by using slider.

 

This solution is very uncomfortable because I'm not able to set 90 degree (horiontal line). The slider changes values by every 6 degrees.

Please, update control behavior i.e.:

1. allow to enter degree value

2. allow to control value by keyboard arrows

3. update control sensitivity

You can control the degress with the keyboard arrows. Just press the slider once, and then use right and left arrow to increase/decrease with 1 degree at a time.

 

I don't know if this was added before or after your post, but I saw that some others commented on this recently so I thought I should let everyone know of this feature.

@TM I'm on the latest build of the desktop - version 2.28.4190.122 and I can't replicate what you describe below... huh

@Seth_C_Bauer Lately, I've been working on a remote desktop/Azure server. For me it works in that environment. When I try it at the PBI Desktop on my local computer, it doesn't work. I run the same build as you:

 

Local: build 2.28.4190.122

Server: build 2.28.4190.122

 

Weird that it works on a server running PBI, but not locally...

Also having this problem. Unable to have a horizontal line in place.

 

+1 For this request. The line is great, but doesn't snap to the main degrees, which makes it's use somewhat limited.
