I think it's time for Corel to have a decent bounding box that rotates with the object, what's the purpose of retaining the rotation angle and not retaining the bounding box? Rotated objects always get distorted when they are stretched, who wants a distorted object? I'm tired of rotating, going back to 0, stretching, rotating ...no, it's not what I want... going back to zero, stretching again, rotating ...mmm, still not there... go back to 0, stretching a little more, rotating...
COME ON!!!
And don't give me the "use the envelope tool" line, it's not the same, besides, the envelope tool had so many bugs in version 11 that I'm afraid to use it. Corel has to have this option. This bounding box must be resettable, and the absolute scale should also be be resettable.
End of rant
I've been able to do this in Illustrator for years!
All they would have to do is add a semi-transparent box (when the Rotation mode was selected) that represented it's known original domain.
That which is used to "Clear Transformations" but reflected to show the current effected rotations and stretches. Give them little
handbar nodes to grab the sides or corners and make it the guide line's color.
What program has that feature already..... I think Adobe makes that. ;-)
The Free Transform Tool's Scale option is nifty, but why not be able to CLICK on a point and DRAG the object in a desired angle of direction while stretching it in that direction at the same time.
