Whats the easiest way to set my wacom to arbitrarily rotate my canvas with a button or scroll bar? I guess I'm having problems figuring out what hotkey it would be and which device (scroll or button) it would work on....this owuld really help me from contorting my arm to wacom scratch and not have to menu select the whole thing....

premptive thank you....

Couldn't you just bind Alt+Spacebar to a button?

I've only got an old graphire so I can't test it.
assuming you're using Painter btw.

Edit: Just tried binding it to one of my pen buttons, keystroke > alt+space and it works fine.

Tried it but only gave me a hand tool so I could move the canvas but it wouldn't rotate....here is the keystroke I made....

Mine looks like this, which is slightly different. They way I did it was to hold down alt then tap space..

Maybe we're running different drivers or something, I can't remember when I updated mine last.

Cool, glad you got it sorted.

It's actually quite a handy setting, I think I'll keep using it myself.

I'm gonna have to try this myself.
I thought the crappy driver wouldn't accept more than on key stroke command per tablet shortcut button.

EDIT: Oh... It's only for Painter. When will adobe incorporate canvas rotation in Photoshop. *sigh*
