  Thanks for the explanation - though I'm on the fence about an official change. There'll likely be instances where such a rotation isn't wanted, and AC as a rule only controls Menu positions so that their rotations can be manually controlled.

  A custom script on each Hotspot wouldn't be necessary, however. One on your Canvas prefab's root can extract the data from the Hotspot it's attached to:

  using UnityEngine;
  using AC;
  
  public class SetHotspotMenuRotation : PlayerInput
  {
  
      private Menu menu;
      private Canvas canvas;
      private RectTransform rectTransform;
  
      private void Awake()
      {
          canvas = GetComponent<Canvas>();
          rectTransform = GetComponent<RectTransform>();
      }
  
      private void Update ()
      {
          if (menu == null && KickStarter.playerMenus)
          {
              menu = KickStarter.playerMenus.GetMenuWithCanvas(canvas);
          }
  
          if (menu && menu.HotspotLabelData != null && menu.HotspotLabelData.Hotspot)
          {
              var centrePoint = menu.HotspotLabelData.Hotspot.centrePoint;
              if (centrePoint)
              {
                  rectTransform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(centrePoint.forward);
              }
          }
      }
  
  }

  Thanks Chris. I wasn't thinking of an enforced change, but perhaps rather just a tick box showing in the Hotspot settings when the user chooses "Show icons in world space", and tick box just says something like "Match CentreOverride rotation" perhaps. Can default to off to keep forward compatibility.
