Dear Adriana calderón,

A new post on the topic "how to get a non-rotated star" by Lazur:

By holding Ctrl you can snap it to 0°.Important to note the angle is still affected at which angle you are dragging with the mouse when drawing the star If it's a pre-drawn star, not converted to a path, you can try opening the xml editor -Shift+Ctrl+X- to edit out any transformation present. It will probably remove any additional scaling/skewing/translation, since they are usually merged into one transformation matrix with the rotation. Other option would be rotating a pre-drawn shape manually, using snapping. If object is converted to a path and the star has an even number of spokes it's much easier. Drag a single horizontal/vertical guide line from the ruler and snap it to the object's rotational centre.Then rotate object until a spoke snaps to said guide. Needs some testing -works with paths. If star spoke is not snapping, duplicate object -Ctrl+D-, convert to path -Ctrl+Shift+C- and rotate the two objects together as described. For an odd number of spokes, snap a horizontal/vertical guide line and the object rotational centre to a spoke, rotate until another part snaps.Preferably construct the rotational centre with another guide line, and snap the object rotational centre to said position.
