After selecting and rotating a rectangle, is there anyway to modify the original dimensions, such as changing a 5x10 to a 5x12?

Not directly. You can move two of the corners to the correct location using the path edit tool (the hollow arrow) but you can’t just type in a new size for the original rectangle and get those updated coordinates remapped by whatever transforms you applied after creating the rectangle.

Okay, Thanks. Please put this feature on the NFR list. I know I
could do it in some previous program, maybe MacDraft or MacDraw.
Seems like you selected the rectangle and then Edit or something like
that. The usual 8 handles appeared on the four corners and four sides
and you could drag around just like on the original.

The problem is that Intaglio doesn’t know how the rectangle started life. For example, it could have been created by the rectangle or polygon tool, or perhaps even the freehand tool.
You may have started with a rectangle and deleted a corner point to create a triangle. Intaglio doesn’t try to keep track of what shape a path object used to form, just what it forms currently.

Okay, I guess that’s a no.
