Rotating Objects

To rotate an object that is not currently selected:
1.
Click the Rotate tool that appears to the left of the screen, or just
press the R key on your keyboard.
2.
Click an object in your design to select it.
3.
Click the object again, but this time hold down the left mouse button as you
move your mouse in a circular motion to rotate the object. Alternately, press
the Enter key to rotate the object manually.
To rotate one or more selected objects:
1.
Move your mouse over one of the selected objects that you wish to rotate.
2.
Click and hold the left mouse button, then move your mouse in a circular motion
to rotate all selected objects. Alternately, press the Enter key to
rotate the selected objects manually.
When rotating multiple objects at once, they will be
rotated about their common center, not their individual centers.
While you are rotating, the number of degrees that the
object is revolving will be shown at the very bottom of the screen.
Tip: Objects can also be rotated
without using the Rotate tool; see Moving
Objects for more information.
