Add option for changing orientation
- Operating system: Windows 8.1
- Pencil version: 3.x (beta)
Default document's orientation is landscape. There doesn't seem to be any way to change it to portrait. Or for that matter, there doesn't seem to be an option to change the page dimensions (e.g. change it to a 9" by 9" square). There may be situations where the orientation needs to be changed (e.g. a flowchart that works best on a portrait orientation), and adding this option would be nice.
I would be nice to have an option to allow swapping page width and height. For the time being you can manually do that in the page properties dialog.
what is required here is an abstraction of screen where the gui mockup can be applied to multiple screens, be it landscape or portrait, and in various sizes so.
ATM there only exists a canvas, which can be resized according to content or padded content or the actual screen size of your desktop (and by that only the workspace portion of it).
And even that fails if there is no content at all and resizing it to the screen size will also fail as it will lose the targeted screen size, say 1920x1080 or 1080p. With no content on the page at all it will also fail as its target size would be 0 x 0 pixels, even it its background is based on some other page which does have a dimension.
