ORIENTED VIEWS AND RECTANGLES.

Has anyone noticed that when you rotate a drawing on-screen the tracker gives inaccurate information with rectangular geometry?
Is this a bug?
It's very annoying.
You have to use the rotated rectangle to get the correct reading.

PLEASE FIX THIS.

I do not fully understand what you are trying to say.
Could you elaborate more, perhaps also include a screen shot?

Here is a screen shot.
The view is rotated.
Notice the dimensions on the rectangle.
Now look at the tracker information, measuring bottom left to top right.
This should have read 3'x4'.

OK, now I get it.
You have rotated the View, then you are trying to create a Slab with the Rectangular Geometry method. This is when the Tracker gives X-Y dimensions according to the Rotated orientation of the Floor Plan and not the normal horizontal-vertical orientation of the screen.
Yes, this looks like a bug to me.
I will report it to Graphisoft.
