Rotate the Icon for a Package
« on: August 26, 2011, 02:23:57 am »
I am trying to create an overview diagram that has a set of high level packages in it. For some of the packages, the context would work better if they were rotated 90 degrees. I do not see any way to rotate the package Icon on a diagram. Is this possible?

If not, is there another way to get an Icon with rotated text on a diagram that links to a package?

Thanks

I suggest this

1) Create your own image of a rotated package
2) Right-click the package and select Apperance | Select Alternate Image...

Note this will hide any element list that may be in the orginal element icon

Cheers Phil

Actually, I am not as interested in the image being rotated as I am in the text. I am assuming that the text would still apear in horizontal format.
