3. Reverse Transformation

Reverse Transformation

    Since this operation is frequently used in my work, could you add an inverse transform function to the menu?

    For example:

    1. If one shape is rotated 50 degrees clockwise, selecting another shape and applying this function would rotate it 50 degrees counterclockwise.
    2. If an object is moved forward by 30 units, the corresponding function would move it backward by 30 units.

    This function would be based on the previous transform operation but perform its inverse.

    I’ve considered a special case (e.g., if an object moves to the upper-right, should its inverse be moving to the lower-left?). In this scenario, I think there should be a rule—perhaps moving to the upper-left would be more reasonable.

    I hope this feature can be added in the future. Thank you.

    @monsterfox Would this work as a separate action? The transform changes are already accumulated, and used for Duplicate.
    The new action would only need to take these transforms and apply in inverse.
    I think this would be easy to add, I added it to the 1.3 backlog.

    @VectorStyler My suggestion is to add an option called "Reverse Transformation" in the transform menu, with customizable shortcut keys for quick access. Thanks for adding this feature!
