Rotating objects

Rotating an object turns it around its registration point. By default, this is the center of the object, but you can move it. See Moving an object's registration point. You can rotate an object by dragging or by specifying an angle in the Transform inspector.

To rotate an object by dragging:

1 Select an object.
2 Select the arrow tool and click the Rotate modifier.
3 Drag one of the corner handles.

To rotate an object by value:

1 Select an object.
2 Do one of the following:
Open the Transform inspector (Windows > Inspectors > Transform), enter a rotation angle, and click Apply. Negative values rotate the object counterclockwise, positive values rotate it clockwise.
To rotate the selection 90° clockwise, choose Modify > Transform > Rotate Right.
To rotate the selection 90° counterclockwise, choose Modify > Transform > Rotate Left.
