I'm not sure this answers the question, what about for devices without touch screens?

I have a wacom tablet and I'm unable to rotate the ruler with the touch function. apparently it works only with surface tablets or things of the sort which is annoying

This is an utterly useless feature. If you don't specifically have a touch screen computer it does not work. It only loads at 45 degrees and gives no option to select and move it. Seriously? Why even bother putting it in. Would absolutely love to use this if I could control it on my desktop. But the program is crap. :/

I have a touch screen, and it still won't work. I can rotate the ruler, but when I try to draw it starts making a box, but no line. I can draw lines without the ruler. Why is Microsoft software always crappy?!

The ruler works just fine. You just move the mouse pointer into the circle shown on the ruler and then you can use the wheel on the mouse to rotate the ruler.
