Hi,

That's not supported out of the box. You could probably implement it by overriding DiagramNode.Draw method to apply a different transform before calling DrawLocal. Current Draw code looks like this:

public override void Draw(IGraphics graphics, RenderOptions options)
{
    GraphicsState state = graphics.Save();

    RectangleF b = GetBounds();
    graphics.TranslateTransform(b.X, b.Y);

    if (GetRotationAngle() != 0)
    {
        Point center = GetLocalCenter();
        graphics.TranslateTransform(center.X, center.Y);
        graphics.RotateTransform(GetRotationAngle());
        graphics.TranslateTransform(-center.X, -center.Y);
    }

    DrawLocal(graphics, options);

    graphics.Restore(state);

    DrawManipulators(graphics, false, false);

    if (ShouldRenderAnchors(options))
        DrawAnchors(graphics);
} 

You'd also have to override additional methods such as DrawHandles and GetRotatedBounds.

You could set the group's FollowMasterRotation property to make the children rotate around the parent node's center.

I hope that helps,

Yes, that will work. Creating and removing temporary nodes will mess up the undo history though if you keep undo enabled. You might have to filter out undo records from ActionRecording events in such case.
