RE: GEMS 1-18-9 rotation rule artwork change message



This is actually the intended behavior, though the reasoning is not really obvious.  Rotation is “advisory only” in GEMS.  That is, GEMS will tell the user about changes in layout (ie, oval positions), but it is up to the user to press the rotation button to get the rotation worked out.  Rotation does not actually change layout.  There are other places in GEMS that will affect rotation, and you won’t get a warning there either.  For example, you might re-order your precincts by changing the precinct id, which will have an effect on precinct rotation.  You won’t get a warning in this case either.

Save changes to the rotation rule in the Race Editor once ballot artwork has been generated.  GEMS does not issue a message warning that ballot artwork will be changed.
