Rotate multiple objects/nodes with handle together

GoJS
#1

Hello - I searched the forums and couldn’t find anyone doing this.

Is there a way to rotate multiple nodes together with the Rotating Tool? For example, if I select a few nodes I want there to be a bounding box around what I have selected, and then grab the rotate handle and rotate the whole selection together like in some other productivity applications.

thanks!

There’s an extension for that: http://gojs.net/latest/extensions/RotateMultipleTool.js

It’s demonstrated by: http://gojs.net/latest/extensions/FloorPlanEditor.html

Thank you very much - That gets me most of the way there. Is there an extension or maybe something with adornments that lets me show a box around everything I have selected?

Not that I know of. You could implement it yourself by customizing the tool.

But I think the reason the RotateMultipleTool doesn’t support it should be apparent when one holds down the control key during rotation.
