      Hi,
      I’m working on CS6, i have a 200 pages book with only pics.
      I made dynamic legend (legend/dynamic legend) of my pictures (on a different layer).
      Before that I made a rotation of my severals pictures in different pages.
      When the frame with the legend are coming they do align (on the down left part of the pictures) BUT with the same rotation angle that the pictures.
      Is it possible to make all my legends frames being at 0° in all the pages ?
      Thanks for your help

      I found out that :

      If i select all my text frames and i apply “delete transformation” from transformation menu in transformation panel (window/object/transformation in the top right of the panel you can select delete transformations) – i don’t exactly know exact words i’m using a non-english version -+
      this have as effect to make all the angle (deformations and rotations) at 0°
      Now i know i can not select text frames on different pages.
      so i will go on with this…

      Guillaume, bonjour
      I assume by legend you mean “caption”. Right?
      Probably your problem resides in how you set the Caption Setup box. It is likely that you marked (ticked) the “Group caption with Image”

      Hi,

      You are right, i mean caption.

      About the setup of the caption It was my first thought. But i unchecked “Group caption with image” before.

      i did an example of the problem you can see it at :

      As you can see the caption “rotation angle” is following the picture frame.

      Guillaume,
      I believe having found the reason for your problem.
      Please have a look at this image:

      The image on the top is the original with a caption created dynamically. All settings are the same as those you have indicated on your previous message.
      The two images below were created differently:
      the left one: I copied the image from the top (with the caption created) then I clicked (selected the frame) on the figure (not the caption), rotated it and, voilá, this is what you were looking for. The caption frame is still at 0º
      the right one: first I copied the original image, then I rotated it WITHOUT THE CAPTION. Then I applied the dynamic caption. The result was the same as the one you obtained, namely the caption box rotated too.
      As you wrote previously, you have done exactly this, namely you first rotated the images then you applied the caption. As result, the caption rotated with the image.
      So the trick is this: DO NOT ROTATE THE IMAGE but apply the caption, then select the image ONLY and rotate it. The caption will remain at 0º
      I hope this was of help
      Amuse toi :-)
      Tom
