Request: Select line within shape and make this line parallel to the X-Axis

@fmaz008

and offered a way to distinguish a rotation angle relative to the selected angle and relative to an axis

Create a reference object to provide this. For example, a square in the orientation and dimensions that you want. Then use this to snap your original shape both as an rotation anchor point and rotation reference on the second half of the operation.

I have an example of this in another post:

Is it possible to resize an object setting a segment length?

I realized it’s hard to see what’s happening if both lines are perfectly horizontal. Here’s an example with the reference segment rotated. [rotate-scale]
