So I had this problem before but in Blender 2.79. The problem was that I couldn't rotate objects in edit mode. This happened due to a shortcut i didn't know about. However there is a button in 2.79 with enables you to rotate again.

But in blender 2.8 there is no such button. There are no forums about it. Please help me with a shortcut or where I can locate the button to enable rotation again.

Please tell me how to disable this!

Thank you

  • $\begingroup$ Have you locked the rotation? Select the object tab and check if the lock symbol next rotation values are enabled. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ look in your user preferences to see if it's set to rotate by "r". Go to Keymap, then 3D View > 3D View (Global), and near the bottom is the rotate shortcut key settings. It's very specifically labeled: "rotate". :) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ i.stack.imgur.com/CnoMu.jpg Unless that is activated you should be able to rotate either through shortcut R or the rotate tool in the left toolbar. $\endgroup$

Apparently I was in face select mode and my circle doesn't have any polygons...

When I changed to edge select the object rotated.

Thank you for trying to help me. I'm dumb.
