Hello, Hans,

I have found out what was the reason to remove the rotate in 2014 - it was because the tooltip was hiding it and it was decided to provide a rotate step option instead:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/diagram/configuration/editable.tools#editabletools

http://dojo.telerik.com/IkiKONaB

Have a look at the runnable example and let me know what you think. If you see any shortfalls, please let me know how it is currently being used in the project.

If you like, we can convert this to a public Feature request to return the rotate handle from before.

Hi, Hans,

This is very unexpected indeed. I tested it with 2017.2.621 and it does not seem to work. Would you mind taking a look at this dojo and letting me know if I should change anything to get it to show with the version you mentioned?

Look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi, Hans,

Thank you very much for getting in touch to inquire about this diagram feature.

Unfortunately, it appears that the free shape rotation of the diagram has been removed at the end of 2014 and the team at the time has missed updating the documentation to reflect this breaking change. I have logged a task in our internal backlog that we should document the change and updated your Telerik points for bringing this to our attention.

It works as expected in 2014 R1 in this test: http://dojo.telerik.com/EFOvOpUs/2

I am afraid that the toolbar and tools rotation is the only available option at the moment. Please accept our apology for the inconvenience that this may cause you, we will investigate what forced us to revoke this feature and see if it is at all possible to overcome any issue that it may have caused in the past so it could be added back in the future.

Kind Regards,
