Rotate shapes in RTMC Pro
is it possible to Rotate shapes in RTMC Pro?
The shape doesn't currently support rotation. You can save the shape as an image from the shape property page. There is a disc icon at the bottom right. Then load the image into an image component which has rotation capabilities.
Yes i know, but the shapes that i want to rotate are text alarm shapes, which have a value which makes the shape red..i want to make my own wind direction image like below...
FYI there is a compass in the latest RTMC version and in the Pro version you can change the direction letters.
If you do not like the compass there are various tricks that would allow you to do othere things similar to what you want, although most require the Pro version.
For the case above you can put a gauge/dial on top of your existing image with most of the dial being transparent, except for the pointer of course. In RTMC Pro the pointer can be virtually any shape you like.
One cruder trick is to stack a series of images (with the pointer in different positions in your case) on top of each other where only one image is shown at a time, controlled by a multistate alarm.
