How does one rotate a map with many layers without having to group all the objects into one layer

Asked by KalleMP

How does one rotate a map with many layers without having to group all the objects into one layer.

To rotate a map with river names on river paths causes a problem with a bug that causes transformations on text-on-paths to be applied twice.

I unlock all layers, select all features on all layers, group them together, rotate the group and all is well.

If I now want to explode the group to make some final edits All text-on-paths rotate out of place and have to be manually selected , grouped together, rotated back and then manually positioned. Then I can make edits but all features are on the top layer where the grouping placed them.

I would love to be able to rotate everything without having to group them and so loose the layer information and also so this text-on-path re-translate bug is not triggered.

Any ideas?

After you have ungrouped, you can select the text-on-path object, go to to menu Edit-XML editor and delete the "transform" property (just select it and erase a text like "matrix(0.84050525,-0.54180341,0.54180341,0.84050525,7.1533815,1701.3042)" and hit "Set" button).

Can you help with this problem?
