Would like to rotate a group 180°. Is that possible? It appears "rotate" is greyed out for groups.

I’d love the feature to be available: an automatic reorientation of a flowchart built manually with shapes and lines.

I would love to have the rotate group function. I use  this for creating room layouts for events. A lot of times I need to rotate the group of objects to use the same layout on a different wall. When you have 50-100 objects, it is very tedious to move them all.

 

Thanks!

Hi ​@jeffnene, thank you for adding to this thread! I can certainly see why this is important to you. 

Just to clarify, are you using the Floor Plans share library found in Lucidchart? 

You should be able to rotate a group of these objects as shown below by selecting all the objects with your cursor, and rotating as desired. Is this what you are hoping to do in your document?
