- Rotation Tool
- To use the Rotation tool, first make the object active. Click on the
- Rotation Tool to activate it and then move the pointer to the location
- on the page about which you want to rotate the object (the pivot point).
- The pointer changes to a set of crosshairs centered in a circle
- when you move it over the page. Click and drag away a short distance
- from the pivot point in any convenient direction. Note that the pivot point
- is indicated by the crosshairs while the pointer changes to an arrow.
- A line is displayed between the pivot point and the current mouse location.
- This line acts a a reference to the original orientation of the object and
- helps control the pivot. As you move the pointer around the pivot point,
- the line, and the outline of the object rotate. When you have placed the
- object in the desired orientation, release the mouse button.
- If the Shift key is held down while rotating an object, the movement
- is constrained to 45° increments. Release the Shift key during
- rotation to permit full movement.
