Rotating a Symbol with TextNode.EditStyle.AllowRotate = false

Question

In Essential Studio V3.3.0.0:

I have a Symbol Model which contains a text node with some text.

When I rotate a Symbol created from this Symbol Model, I want to prevent the text node from rotating. I.e. everything but the text rotates.

I tried setting TextNode.EditStyle.AllowRotate = false both in the Symbol Designer and at runtime when I insert the symbol.

Unfortunately the TextNode is still rotated. 

Is this the intended behaviour?

As a workaround, I can rotate the TextNode back again after rotating the Symbol, but this seems a bit messy (and I need the rotation degree in the RotateEventArgs, but it doesn''t seem to be there).

Hi,
 
I am sorry about this delay in responding. EssentialDiagram TextNode has been designed in such a way that if you rotate it, the text inside the textnode will also get rotated. If your intension is to prevent the text inside a symbol from being rotated then you can use labels instead of textnode.
 
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
