	Hi When a box have been rotated to an angle greater than 0 it behaves strange when resized. Any ideas why this happens and how to prevent this? Best regards, Magnus

	Hi, I've tried resizing rotated boxes in the Rotation page of the FCDemo and can't see anything strange. What do you find wrong with that? Stoyan

	Hi Stoyan Thanks for your answer. I have also tried the Rotation page of the FCDemo and when I resize e.g. the green car up to the right, quite rapidly everything works well. However, If I try to adjust the size slowly, the car glides over to the left lane. Adjusting the size by decreasing and increasing it slowly will result in the car moving more and more to the bottom of the page. This is even more apparent when the page is zoomed in. In my application the user often works with the page zoomed in so that is why this is kind of a problem. Best regards, Magnus

	Hi Magnus, This likely happens because FlowChartX stores the node coordinates in integer fields, and some precision is lost when applying the rotation transformation. We'll see if we can use float coordinates at least while the modification is being carried out. Stoyan

	Hi Stoyan Thank you for looking into this matter. I realize that using float coordinates might be a bit tricky but I am glad you are investigating. Best regards, Magnus
