I sometimes need to work in traditional sketch style. I sometimes need valves for explanatory purpose, (plus the vector export of the new sketch style is still not working properly in V10.3.1, neither WMF nor SVG).
I somtimes need to change the orientatiion of a vale from vertical to horizontal or vice versa (when a flow used to be horizontal and I changed it to be vertical or vice versa)
When right-clicking a valve the valve options dialogue opens. In this dialogue the option to change the valve shape is missing. It is still shown in the Vensim documenetation for the valve options dialogue, though.
It would be very helpful if you could re-add this option in one of the next versions of Vensim.

Re: cannot change orientation of valve any more in trad sketch
Right click on the valve and you should be able to change the orientation.
Most users stick to the traditional sketch style. The arrows on the "new" style can be difficult to see.

That is not what the dialogue looks like in my vensim version (see attached). Maybe it's a limitation of PLE+?

Re: cannot change orientation of valve any more in trad sketch
Are you using the traditional sketch style when right clicking on the valve?
I'll check this and fix if needed when I'm back in front of a computer.
