Summary0005100: "direction-less" frames
DescriptionYou should be able to set a frame to not have an angle of its own, but always revert its reference angle to that of the page (or a given offset from that, like 90 degrees...).

Thus its rotation would always be zero (or any specified offset, etc....), its bounding box horizontal, and for text frames, the text would remain horizontal as you rotate the frame shape. Useful for amorphously-shaped frames where the original orientation means less than the page angle.
TagsNo tags attached.

not sure how to do that.

probably, the easiest way to get there is by going through a conversion to a bezier.

this means that converting to bezier should define the nodes at the position where they are, and set the rotation to zero.
it might be an option, but i think it's not needed and this should be the only behavior.

when converting back to a text frame, then you will have your unrotated rotate frame.
