Rotating Objects

You can rotate a graphic object or text object in the graphics pane by selecting the object and choosing Graphics|Rotate from the main menu to access a submenu.

Free Rotate activates a Rotate Cursor (when placed over the object). Dragging the cursor within the object rotates it about its center point.

Rotate Left rotates the object 90 degrees counter clockwise.

Rotate Right  rotates the object 90 degrees clockwise.

Flip Horizontal flips the object horizontally (around a vertical center axis).

Flip Vertical flips the object vertically (around a horizontal center axis).

The Rotate options are also available in the Graphical Tools toolbar:

   Note: If an element is selected, the rotate option will be unavailable (grayed out).  That is, you cannot rotate an element.
