I am a WSB newbie, so learning via the MPSeminars A-Z.   I love the atlas!!!  However I discovered that I cannot rotate the maps using the Shift key and the arrow keys on my keyboard.  I  am a Mac user with Catalina OS.  I hope someone can guide me in what I  am doing wrong with this.  Thank you.

    Greetings Kathleen

    I don't think that one can rotate the maps while they are in the tool.

    To do that you would need to first export the map.

    This may not be too much of a hardship as if you want a map rotated you are likely to want it out of the Logos environment.

    Holding left shift and holding the right mouse button will allow you to rotate the map and change the angle/perspective also.

    Well, thanks Kevin - although with a trackpad I used a two-finger drag to accomplish the same thing.

    Now just remember it.  :-)
