MORE INFORMATION

When you rotate a page, existing shapes and guides rotate with it. In addition, there are some smart shapes that do not orient themselves as expected when you place them on a rotated page. Rather than dropping onto the page as they appear in the stencil, these shapes orient themselves with respect to the page rotation.
