: How to stop auto rotate of shapes in Illustrator CS4? When I create a shape, like a rectangle, it starts out slightly rotated down to the right. This happens every time I start a new file

When I create a shape, like a rectangle, it starts out slightly rotated down to the right. This happens every time I start a new file and create a new rectangle. I don't see rotation in the appearance panel. When I look at the transform panel it lists rotation at zero. Yet all of my shapes tilt down and to the right.

How can I stop my shapes from auto rotating?

at first go to preference (press ctrl+k) and change the value of "Constrain Angle" to 0 (zero). press ok button. see the image below:

First Check if the constrain angle is set to 0

-> Preferences


else if its something wrong with your illustrator you can try writing a script to counter-rotate each shape a little (that is if all your shapes rotate the same amount) as a last resort. Or trying to install a new/different version of illustrator.

It should be the constrain angle though
