Hello,

is there a way in perspective to avoid the automatic change from landscape to portrait mode using an handheld device?  
I looked into project properties and view properties but nothing resembles what I am trying to achieve.

And yes, I know that i can set the device to be always portrait. But that’s not the point.

If you are using the web browser, I don’t think there is a way to control that to only effect perspective unless you design to use fixed dimensions.

In the app, it might be possible, but probably would need to be a feature request.

If you’re using an android device, there are some rotation manager applications that might suit your needs so only the perspective app(or I guess the browser but it would effect all websites) would be rotation locked.
