Rotate objects

You can rotate any object or group of objects.

  1. Select the object to rotate.

    To select an object, from the toolbar, select the pointer arrowhead icon and then the object. Or, drag around the entire object and release it so that a blue bounding box appears . To select the entire diagram, from the Edit menu, select Select All (or Ctrl+A on your keyboard).
  2. Select the Rotate button above the object and drag it clockwise or counter-clockwise to the desired orientation and then release. Objects automatically rotate in 15 degree increments.

    The exact rotation in degrees appears below the shape.

  3. To specify an exact rotation angle, select the Shape Properties button and in the rotation box, enter the exact rotation in degrees clockwise.
