Hi Doug! You should be able to do this with a little trickery. It's true that when you edit the state on the original object, Storyline doesn't provide a rotation option on that object. However, what you could do is insert or paste a duplicate of the same object, and rotate that (since any new object you add to a state does allow the rotation option). Once you've inserted/rotated the duplicate, you can delete the original from the state. Attached is a rough example. Keep in mind, though, that if you later want to modify the look of your object (such as resize it or change text/color/etc.) you'll need to make the change on each state, since Storyline will consider the objects separate. Hope this helps!
