โŒ Short Answer: Not Yet

Digs does not currently support rotating pages within a blueprint or document after it has been uploaded. All files maintain the original orientation as defined in the source document.


๐Ÿงญ Why Doesnโ€™t Digs Allow Rotation?

Blueprints and construction documents are often precision-engineered, with orientation playing a key role in understanding dimensions, flow, and spatial relationships. To maintain accuracy and consistency, Digs preserves the original orientation of all uploaded documents.


๐Ÿ”ง What Should I Do If My Blueprint Is Rotated Incorrectly?

โœ… Option 1: Edit the File Before Uploading

Use a third-party tool (like Adobe Acrobat, Preview for Mac, or any PDF editor) to rotate the document to the correct orientation.

โœ… Option 2: Reupload the Corrected Version

Once the orientation is fixed, save the updated file and reupload it to your project in Digs.
